Student Wellness
Good mental health is as important as good physical health. When mentally healthy, we can enjoy our lives, be creative and productive, take risks, and are better able to cope with difficulties, change and loss. School becomes less stressful and our well-being is taken care of. However, it is normal to feel somewhat overwhelmed with the challenges you encounter while you attend university.
