World Mental Health Day

Caring for your mind & well-being

There’s no better time to remind ourselves of the importance of taking care of mental well-being. Whether you’re a local student juggling classes and social life or an international student navigating a new culture, we all face unique and collective challenges.

As your student union, we wanted to share some helpful resources and supports that you may find helpful throughout the year. Take a look below:

Empower Me

As part of Sheridan Student Union’s Health and Dental Plan, all full-time and part-time domestic students are automatically enrolled in the health coverage provided by Studentcare. The plan also includes Empower Me, a FREE wellness service that connects students with qualified counsellors, consultants, and life coaches for a variety of experiences.

●      Available 24/7, 365 days per year
●      Confidential
●      Multilingual
●      Culturally sensitive
●      Gender inclusive
●      Faith inclusive

To access Empower Me, create an account on the Dialogue mobile app or on the web.

Community Mental Health Resources

Mental health matters every day and as we continue to honour awareness day throughout the year, SSU is committed to working towards creating a campus community where everyone feels heard and supported. Remember, reaching out for help is totally okay and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Empower Me is available to support you 24/7.
