RRC Hosts Dialogue on Behalf of the Mental Health Commission of Canada

April 16, 2019

 

On April 16 we hosted the first of two dialogues to help the Mental Health Commission of Canada develop a National Post-Secondary Mental Health Standard.

 

Students and Employees shared their thoughts about what works well to support student mental health and what institutions can do better. All of our ideas will be forwarded to the technical committee who writes the Standard.

 

The standard will act as a voluntary process guideline to help Canada’s academic institutions promote and support students’ psychological health and safety, and support students’ success.

 

Do you want to have your say? A second dialogue will be held Thursday the 18th from 2-4pm in room A137 of the Notre Dame Campus. Contact Breanna for more information and to register.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
