'Roads to Wellness' was created by the Student Wellness Centre to offer opportunities for wellness and healing to university students and staff in group experiences facilitated by Mental Health Clinicians, Educators, and Counsellors who offer a variety of expressive and somatic techniques. We aim to expand our reach so that students and/or staff/faculty have an experiential gathering time, feel a sense of connection and community, and have broader access to mental wellness services. Guided activities, including expressive making, music, and movement are the core of our programming. Please join us to... EXPERIENCE. CONNECT. CREATE.
