It is interactive. They encourage for everyone to answer questions and do some ice breakers.
The presenters/peer supporters together with Allyssa are doing a good job in sharing thoughts and acknowledging remarks.
Student cameras are usually off so the interactions are mostly done via answering through the chat box.

2024-10-31 19:56:45 UTC

Attend in-person events that allow us to connect.
Add components to the award program, such as leadership opportunities.

Feedback is valuable.

# 1 I wonder If they have workshop for women and young girls that are facing issue with their body and mind mentally physically and spiritually.

2024-10-31 20:01:49 UTC

I wonder if there're any qualified psychologists (not psychotherapists or counsellors) who might be able to provide mental services to students if necessary.

If possible that some of the webinars will be in-person to encourage participation and build a more genuine connection between the speakers and their listeners.
The webinars can encourage the use of nearpod or padlet, so everyone can easily see the answers in the screen and not just in the chat box. It will help people to see all the replies.

#2 no changes

3 things I like:

The wellness talks are encouraging where we can express ourselves.
The wellness workshops are held regularly (usually weekly) where we can build a habit of thinking about our mental health.
The outdoor activities organized during engagement week are good. Please do more of those.

3 things I like

• There are programs such as dealing with grief and navigating anxiety which helps a lot of people to gain ideas about strategies to use to cope.

•Resources are being promoted in many ways such as in bulletin boards, phamplet, and even emails.

• Mental health is being addressed and given importance

2 things I wish

• I wish there’s a social worker or counsellor available at school to book

• I wish there’s an available social worker to book from school every month or we could book weekends.

1 thing I wonder

• I wonder if there’s a referral on certain psychologist/psychiatrist clinic since we have a student insurance we could use

#3 I love the online classes and in person as well . The outdoor activities with meeting up and get to know each other.

2024-10-31 20:07:32 UTC

I wonder if what’s like the average rate of students going in for some consultations. How do they feel after a peer session? What’s the likelihood of success of improving their well-being? I think it is beneficial to share to the students how the CALCS department has helped college students in some way without giving out confidential information. Maybe like a comparative analysis of data?

2024-10-31 20:09:49 UTC

To know more about the peer supporters. Most of the time I'm not sure about the role they play in the wellness workshops. Are they mental health program students who have to fulfill their placement / co-op, that's why they're there?
More outings / field trips.

2024-10-31 20:10:05 UTC

3 things I like: it is every engaging, helping people who went through mental health during the pandemic and providing them suggestions to get them well.

2024-10-31 20:10:53 UTC

2 things I wish is to have more helping hands and more students

2024-10-31 20:13:45 UTC

The idea that someone is there for us, to support us and help is out.

The weekly connect on different topics that are common but indeed useful, helps students a lot.

2024-10-31 20:15:26 UTC

If we could have a channel on e.centennial which is default for all the students and update all the recent happenings around the campus and have more activities in different campus.

2024-10-31 20:18:38 UTC

Centennial's mental health services are accessible and open to all students, creating an environment where everyone feels supported.
I like pet therapy sessions as it is effective and it offers a break from academic stress.
I like that there’s a variety of services offered, such as one-on-one counselling, workshops and peer support.

2024-10-31 20:27:38 UTC

With the financial situations that the College is currently facing, will there be any budget cuts in the mental health services provided to the students.

2024-10-31 20:30:01 UTC

What's the rationale behind recently adding the after-office-hour counselling services? I wonder what the utilization rate there is like.

2024-10-31 20:31:53 UTC

1. The workshops provide $10 for participation to encourage students to join.

2. CALCS provides follow-up services by counselors, available both virtually and in person.

3. The CALCS center has private rooms for students to receive services in a comfortable enviro

nment.

Perhaps some social events or support groups with food, drinks, or prizes to achieve a target.
