The Student Wellness Advisory Team (SWAT) works to facilitate student input into the overall operations of Student Health and Wellness, Lakehead University’s Wellness Strategy and Student Health and Wellness’ Health Promotion Strategy. Members shall serve as student ambassadors with respect to the services offered by Student Health and Wellness and as ambassadors with respect to the overall health and wellness of the student population. Students from both Thunder Bay and Orillia are welcome.
Meetings will occur 2 per semester over zoom.

As staff and faculty, you are often the first to recognize that a student is in distress so it is important that you feel equipped to identify these behaviours and also understand how you can help.  The Supporting Students in Distress Guide and accompanying workshop outline the various levels of distress and the resources you can provide for a student in each level of distress.  We will also cover available supports in various areas, both on and off-campus including Counselling and Wellness, Academic Services, Disability Services, Legal and Conduct, and Community Supports.

Registration required, session delivered via zoom.

Join Student Health and Wellness for live, counsellor-led mindful meditation sessions every Thursday in our activity room. Each session begins with a check-in, then a mindfulness practice is introduced and guided, followed by an opportunity to discuss any questions or insights.

No experience necessary – whether you are new to mindfulness or practice regularly, having the support of a group can help to strengthen your practice.
