Wellbeing Workshops

Helping students succeed

At Health Promotion Programs we believe that Healthy Students Make Better Learners. Our work positions students to be better prepared when challenges occur so as to reduce the extent to which your academics are negatively impacted.  Transitioning into postsecondary education is a major life event which can be challenging especially for young adults who also have to navigate issues for personal growth, new found independence and autonomy (Dyson and Renk, 2006 & Berzonsky and Kuk 2000). These changes can lead to challenges that trigger underlying mental health issues and result in underperformance, failure or dropping out. 

How Health Promotion Programs can prepare students

Building student capacity to recognize when they are struggling, troubleshooting solutions and getting help; will not only build your resilience and confidence; it will also hopefully increase health seeking behaviours proper to crises occurring.
