  • About Us

    Who we are

    Formed through a student initiative at the University of Toronto in September 2013, Grad Minds is the Mental Health Caucus of the University of Toronto Graduate Students' Union (UTGSU), dedicated to supporting the well-being of all graduate students.

    What we do

    We provide mental health education and promote well-being through inclusive programs, initiatives, and events. Our focus is on fostering psychological resilience, personal growth, self-care practices, and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health challenges.

    Why we do what we do

    Graduate students face unique challenges that are not often addressed. At this time, there is a lack of peer support services and education programs aimed at graduate students' mental health on campus.

  • Our Mission

    Our mission is to promote mental health awareness and well-being among the graduate student population at the University of Toronto. We take a three-pronged approach to achieve our mission that encompasses:

    Education

    To Promote Wellness

    Mental health is complex. Our goal is to provide students with tools and resources that may help improve their overall mental health and well-being.

    Advocacy

    To Raise Awareness

    Mental health conversations are essential; we can't be silent anymore. Our aim is to diminish the shame and stigma that surrounds mental health.

    Collaboration
