Mental Health Workshops and Events
safeTALK training opportunity
Ontario Tech has partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) to offer students the opportunity to be certified in the safeTALK suicide alertness program. Training is three hours, in-person, and participants receive a certificate from LivingWorks. safeTALK participants will learn that opportunities to help a person with thoughts of suicide are sometimes missed, dismissed and avoided. Participants will learn the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen and Keep Safe, and will learn to activate a suicide alert. Check back soon for more winter 2023 dates!
Creative Wellness Hive
We're partnering with The LivingRoom Community Art Studio to give students a creative break and enjoy some self-care. The Creative Wellness Hive is a chance for students to make and share art for free. If you see the blue bus on campus, stop by for some fun and learn more about campus supports and services. Everyone is welcome!
