Minds Matter is an initiative that is aimed at helping international students experiencing mental health issues or behavioural concerns, or other challenges. We believe that with the right support and knowledge each of us can make a comeback from adversities and setbacks and improve our mental and emotional shape.
International students that pursue their education in Canada go through not just the general mental stress of exams, homework, internships, work-study jobs, social life, family issues, and finances but also have to adjust to a new academic environment, culture shock, language barriers, prejudice, and live far from the support of family and friends. These stressors often lead to impact our mental well beings.
Minds matter aims at creating a healthy collaborative community of students and counsellors where our focus will be on normalizing conversations about mental health issues and encouraging students to manage their own well-being.
