      • About Us

        Who we are

        Formed through a student initiative at the University of Toronto in September 2013, Grad Minds is now officially recognized as the Mental Health Advisory Committee of the University of Toronto Graduate Students' Union (UTGSU).

        What we do

        We promote well-being and provide mental health education through programs, initiatives, and events, with a focus on developing psychological resilience, personal skill development, self-care practices, and de-stigmatizing mental health problems.

        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

        To Create Partnerships

        Mental health is important for everyone to talk about. We provide a platform for students, staff, and community initiatives to share their messages.

      • Our Events, Projects, and Initiatives

        Grad Minds Webinar Series

        Join us for our workshops where we will explore topics such as coping with anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, and more!

         

         

        Recreation Events and Socials

        Looking to de-stress? Come to our social events to meet new people, laugh, and have fun!
