What happens when I call or drop in?

An employee or volunteer will help you to access resources via the centre, depending on what you need at that time.

This initiative is run by botany and zoology grad students and faculty with the goal of providing better mental health support to grad students. We host stress-relieving events, wellness workshops, provide access to teaching faculty mentors, and advocate for your mental wellness to the departments. Find out more here.
