The Network is conducting an environmental scan of mental health strategies of Canadian post-secondary institutions. Our goal is to analyse and identify theoretical approaches adopted, common components, and key elements to assist post-secondary institutions in the development or review of their own campus mental health strategy. We are particularly interested in the evaluation frameworks and assessment/evaluation methodology of campus mental health strategies. If you would like to consider submitting your mental health strategy as an emerging or best practice, please contact info@bp-net.ca.
The Inquiring Mind Post-Secondary (TIM PS) program developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada in collaboration with students, faculty and staff with mental health-related experience is designed to address and promote mental wellness and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness in post-secondary students.
Mental health strategies have become a strategic priority for Canadian post-secondary institutions over the recent years. Three institutions will discuss their mental health literacy curricula approaches, highlighting a student-facing, staff facing, and a campus community approach, in the context of their mental health frameworks.
