Better Together: Create, Chat, Connect

As a new school year starts, Better Together: Create, Chat, Connect reminds us we're not alone. Connect with peers, build community and learn where to find support. Take a break between classes to meet fellow students through fun, creative activities hosted by student groups. Building these campus connections now can help support your mental health and well-being all year long.

Between each activity session, drop in for a 15-minute Mindful Moment hosted by Counselling & Clinical Services and Wellness Supports. You’ll learn quick, practical strategies to manage stress right when it happens.
