Student Well-being
We’re here to support you.
Well-being
We know that the combined stress of education, personal responsibilities, and extracurricular activities are a lot to take on. We strive to provide a supportive environment that assists students in achieving their goals.
Bolstered by a deep understanding of the diverse needs and priorities of the community, York’s holistic Well-being Strategy promotes positive, inclusive and supportive environments for students, staff, faculty and instructors to flourish and be well in all aspects of work and learning. All community members are called upon to learn, reflect and take part in this journey to inspire positive change.
Student Counselling, Health, and Well-being (SCHW)
Student Counselling, Health & Well-being (SCHW) is a student service department within the Division of Students at York University. Our dynamic team of health care professionals, peer health educators and support staff collaborate to provide a range of health and well-being services that foster academic success, student development and an engaged community at York University. The primary aim of SCHW is to support students in realizing and developing their personal potential and manage the demands of university life.
Your well-being is our priority
We are here to help. Our staff are available Monday – Friday via our SWSC Welcome desk to answer any questions you may have and help connect you to resources.
Athletics and Recreation
We sometimes forget that our physical and mental health are intertwined. Reduced physical activity can have detrimental effects on our ability to cope mentally. Exercising and pursuing outdoor activities are some ways to help stay active. If you are unable to exercise outdoors, joining a virtual exercise class is a great way to stay fit and interact with others. Engage in physical activities at your own comfort and pace. Consult with a physician before starting any exercise program.
York University’s Trait McKenzie Centre offers students many ways to get active.
