Helping students find what they need, when they need it
An expanded version of NAVI helped to improve the navigation of programs, services and resources through inclusive and universal design principles. Together with programs like Finding a Therapist, Virtual Grad Tours and International Student Service Sessions, diverse students had the ability to find what they needed, when they needed it.
Finding a Therapist Program
130
students were helped in their search for a therapist
75%
of participants felt more ready to connect with a therapist after attending the workshop
Providing proactive and timely supports
To provide proactive and timely supports that were socially and culturally responsive, the division offered services such as the Same Day Medical Clinic, a new model of the Peer Support Service and support with Provincial Attestation Letters.
Programs such as Beyond Accommodations and Wellness Wednesdays provided culturally responsive resources that embodied a culture of care and supported students at every point of the mental health continuum.
I always look forward to Wellness Wednesday. It’s been great for my mental health and I’ve made some really close friends there.
Acting on student-centered data and feedback
The division put student-centered data and feedback to good use, developing and adapting programs like Dream Job Academy and Why Can’t I Focus?, meeting the needs of diverse student identities, abilities and goals.
I never felt like I was close to my dream job before, but this diorama and thinking about all the big and small details made it feel like I was actually touching my dream.
