Photovoice Study Exploring the Well-being and Mental Health of Students’ in the Child and Youth Care Program
A photovoice project digital photobook has been released that explores the lived experiences of Humber college students and their mental health and well-being during the Fall 2022 and Winter 2023 semesters. This project has been in collaboration between Student Wellness & Equitable Learning, Center for Innovation in Health & Wellness, and the Child and Youth Care program at Humber. True engagement of Humber learners who are lavishing or thriving in their well-being is valuable for the design and implementation of student support services, as well as teaching and learning across the institution. Data will be used to improve student care and access to mental health support at post-secondary institutions.
