To provide RRC Polytech students with accessible, empathic and relatable mental health support, Campus Well-Being is introducing a Peer Support Program. Student recruitment will take place in the fall, training will begin in November 2024 and the program will launch in January 2025.

Bell Canada provided $100,000 funding to kickstart the program and the RRCSA provided an additional $50,000/year for a period of three years.

To gain insights on how students are doing, we plan to deploy the Canadian Campus Well-Being Survey in the winter of 2025.

Since the five year Roadmap is nearing its end, watch for opportunities to contribute to the next plan, which will provide direction for 2026 onwards.

Mental health stigma involves negative attitudes and beliefs about mental health issues and leads to social exclusion and discrimination. There are 3 types of stigma: public stigma – society’s negative reactions; self-stigma – internalized shame; and structural stigma – institutional policies and practices.

Below are 4 factors that contribute to mental health stigma in the East and South Asian communities:

• Collectivist vs. individualist perspectives: in many collectivist cultures, which emphasize the needs and goals of the group over the individual, there may be a reluctance to discuss personal mental health issues in fear of bringing shame or dishonor to the family or community. This can lead to a tendency to keep problems private and not seek help.
• Myths and misconceptions: misunderstandings about mental health, such as viewing it as a weakness or moral failing, further perpetuates the stigma.
• Gender roles: in many cultures, gender roles can influence the perception of mental health. For example: men may be particularly reluctant to seek help for mental health issues due to societal expectations to appear strong and unemotional.
• Family honor and shame: maintaining family honor is crucial. Mental health issues might be viewed as a source of shame, leading to denial or concealment of issues.

Stigma is more prevalent in Asian societies than it may seem and it has profound effects on individuals of Asian descent.

• Psychological and emotional impact: feelings of shame, guilt, and worthlessness can exacerbate mental health conditions.
• Social impact: individuals may face isolation, discrimination or strained relationships.
• Underreporting and underdiagnosis: fear of stigma often leads to reluctance in seeking help, resulting in untreated mental health issues. For example, a study by Khanlou et al. (2018) in Canada found that South Asian youth were significantly less likely to access mental health services due to stigma, cultural expectations, and lack of culturally sensitive resources.

“I came to Canada a year ago, and I’m all alone here without my parents. Life was totally different back in India. Things are changing, no doubt, but there are still so many things we cannot discuss with our parents. It’s always been part of our upbringing to overthink and avoid discussing personal issues with anyone because we’re afraid of being judged.

Since arriving in Canada, I’ve struggled with feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Back in India, discussing mental health openly was taboo, and this mindset has followed me here. When I tried to talk to my parents about how I was feeling, they were supportive but didn’t really understand. They told me to stay strong and focus on my studies but didn’t recognize that I needed more than just words of encouragement.

In our community, admitting to mental health struggles often feels like admitting to a personal failure. The fear of bringing shame or dishonor to the family keeps many of us silent. This stigma makes it incredibly difficult to seek help or even talk openly about what we’re going through. The fear of being judged or misunderstood often forces us to suffer in silence, making the experience of dealing with mental health issues even more isolating.

Being in Canada has opened my eyes to different perspectives on mental health, and I’m slowly learning that it’s okay to seek help and talk about my struggles. But breaking away from deeply ingrained cultural stigmas is a challenge that many of us in the Asian community continue to face.” – Komalpreet K. RRCP Student

Community Initiatives: organizations like the Asian American Psychological Association and the South Asian Mental Health Initiative and Network provide resources and support to people from Asian communities.

Education and Awareness Campaigns: programs aimed at educating communities about mental health can dispel myths and encourage open conversations.

Culturally Sensitive Services: providing mental health services that respect cultural values and beliefs can make it easier for individuals to seek help given they don’t feel the need to explain cultural context.

By understanding the cultural factors at play and actively working to combat stigma in East and South Asian communities, we can create a more supportive environment at Red River College Polytechnic. Join the conversation, educate yourself and others, and support initiatives that aim to reduce the stigma.

Compassion lies at the heart of creating inclusive and empathic communities where individuals feel valued, understood, and supported. In a post-secondary environment, where academic stressors and personal challenges intersect, cultivating compassion becomes essential for promoting mental well-being. By embracing compassion, we acknowledge the humanity of each person and create spaces where kindness and understanding thrive.

Empathy is the cornerstone of compassion. It allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and understand their experiences and struggles. Practicing empathy means actively listening to others’ concerns, validating their experiences, and offering support without judgement. Empathy can also promote dialogue and combat sigma in conversations about mental health. By demonstrating empathy, we can create a culture of understanding and acceptance that fosters trust and belonging. By encouraging honest and compassionate communication, we can break down barriers and foster a culture of acceptance and support.

Compassionate communities are built on a foundation of mutual support and solidarity. As students, staff, and administrators, we have a responsibility to look out for one another and offer support in times of need. Whether it’s checking in on a struggling classmate, reaching out to a colleague who seems overwhelmed, or simply lending a listening ear, small acts of compassion can make a world of difference in someone’s life.

Another resource that can be reached is Early Asist. If you are a student who is struggling or you notice a student is struggling, you are welcome to send in a referral to our Early Asist Case Manager. Learn more about Early Asist here.

In our efforts to support others, we should not forget to extend compassion to ourselves. Self-compassion involves treating ourselves with kindness and understanding, especially during challenging times. Self-care plays a vital role in self-compassion as well because it’s a way for us to nurture ourselves. By practicing a little self-care every day, we can even prevent burnout. Whether we take breaks while studying, practicing yoga or meditation, or engage in hobbies and interests outside of academics, self-care should be a priority for everyone. Think about it this way, self-care is like sharpening a pencil. Just as a dull pencil struggles to create clear lines, neglecting ourselves dulls our ability to function and manage our emotions effectively.

Practicing compassion requires intentional effort where we decide to expend energy showing kindness to ourselves and others. Sometimes, it can be a challenge to have that energy to give. Thankfully, RRC Polytech provides supports and resources to students and employees so that we don’t have to go it alone.

Take some time to review these supports and ask yourself if one or more could help you build your mental and emotional stamina so that you have enough energy to practice compassion daily.

“There was a lot of valuable insight to be gained from the Introduction to Mental Health session. I learnt the importance of recognizing behavioral patterns because of how some harmless behaviors, when combined, could potentially be symptoms of mental health issues. For example, things like mood swings, and changes in sleep patterns, might be overlooked individually but could collectively signal depression or anxiety. Recognizing those patterns makes it easier to identify any struggles one might be having and to seek help if necessary. The best part of the session for me, was getting to engage in a discussion about mental health in a judgement free zone without any feelings of discomfort or awkwardness.”

“The first and the most important thing is to be aware of your own mental health. Education about this as we learned in the workshop is a way to increase awareness. As we have learned there are many supports available to help cope up with mental health challenges. Last one would be to address and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. As it is essential for creating a more supportive and understanding environment for those affected.”

“Sometimes I feel disappointed or discouraged, but whenever I do, I try to find a solution positively. I think what I learned in this session will help me a lot in the future.”
