Health and wellness supports
As a student, maintaining a healthy lifestyle takes balance. Exercising, eating well, and maintaining meaningful connections can be hard when you have to balance that with going to class, studying, and completing your assignments.
We get it, and we want to help. Take some time to review the resources below and use them — whenever and wherever you are. Whether you are feeling energized and ready for school, or stressed, anxious, and unwell, there are a number of resources for you, and a lot of people who want to help.
If you have any questions about the resources below or just need some help getting started you can always contact Aman Chohan, Assistant Director, Student Life.
For more resources, log in to the Rotman Commerce Health & Wellness Quercus.
If school, work or life has you feeling stressed and overwhelmed, or if you don’t know why or what you’re feeling, talk it out with Paula.
