Mental Health pertains to our psychological, social, and emotional wellbeing. It impacts how we make decisions, think, act, and cope with situations. Mental Health is essential at every point in our lives, especially during post-secondary years that are immensely challenging and stressful.

Mental Health Resources

The Scarborough Campus Students’ Union understands the complexities of Mental Health and why Mental Health support is so crucial. When we discuss Mental Health, we need to consider the intersectionality of Mental Health, and factors that can compromise Mental Health and wellbeing. The essence of health is incomplete without Mental Health, which is why your Students’ Union is working to prioritize the Mental Health of our members.

It is no secret the mental wellbeing of students has been neglected for far too long, and enough is enough. We want you to join our campaign to prioritize Mental Health and put students first.

We are committed to ensuring that our gatherings are accessible to all members of the Students’ Union. If you require any accommodations to ensure your participation please email campaigns@scsu.ca.
