Supporting Trades Students Mental Health Through Campus-Community Partnerships
January 31 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am EST
Join the Centre for Innovation in Student Mental Health (CICMH) for a webinar on supporting mental health and wellness among trades students. The webinar will showcase the collaborative efforts between Cambrian College and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). Speakers Seija Korpela (Cambrian College), Brian Lobban (Cambrian College), and Christophe Coloumbe (CMHA Sudbury/Manitoulin) will discuss how this partnership fosters an environment where trades students can build self-assurance, prioritize their mental well-being, and access tools to recognize mental health challenges. This emphasis on personal development promotes a positive self-concept, empowers students to take pride in their profession, and enriches their educational journey while cultivating a healthier peer community. Additionally, Selena Norman from CICMH will present our newly developed toolkit for Supporting Trades Students’ Mental Health. French closed captioning will be provided.
