The week aims not only to raise awareness around mental health issues but also around all types of wellness, be it mental, physical, emotional, academic, financial, career, spiritual or social.During Well Week, we’ll also celebrate Bell Let’s Talk Day on January 30th to raise funds for mental health initiatives.

We know our students are already finding great ways to look after their own wellness, and we’d like to help you share those experiences with your peers.
