WHO WE ARE
About Us
Working with students, staff, faculty, and other community members to improve the wellbeing of our campus community. Funded by the Ministry of Health with oversight from Interior Health, Campus Wellness is co-located with Health and Wellness and complements the clinic and counselling services offered on our campus.
With members of our campus community, we explore factors that influence campus wellbeing identifying issues and strengths using community-engaged participatory action research methods via the Voice research project. Our research involves data collection and analysis and engaging students, staff and faculty in workshops, action groups and health promotion activities. We use Voice findings to improve our campus, so it is healthier for all.
Vision
A flourishing campus where the systems in place enable a healthy culture and community members to lead healthier lives and contribute to a vibrant world.
