Mental Health Training for Students, Student Leaders, and Student Staff 

Student Wellness and Equitable Learning is offering training for students on how to understand mental health and recognize when a peer needs support. This training operationalizes the goals of the Well-being Strategy and our goal to promote mental health literacy at Humber College and University Guelph-Humber.  

This 90-minute session is designed to assist students with identifying when a peer is experiencing difficulty or distress. Participants will learn to recognize the signs that a peer needs help, and strategies and skills for having a supportive conversation. A list of on- and off- campus will be available for participants. The workshop is interactive with case studies and strategies and part of the college's efforts to raise awareness of student mental health. Students will receive CCR recognition for completing the training.  

Departments, Managers, and Program Coordinators can submit a request for training via the Workshop Request Form.

The form above can also be used to request the Recognize, Respond and Support Learners in Distress workshop designed to help faculty and staff with taking steps to support learners experiencing difficulties, provide referrals to resources, as well as self-care tips.
