Self-Care Practices Among Students: Examining the Roadblocks and Possibilities of Self-Care

Given the difficulty post-secondary students face accessing timely, affordable, and stigma-free professional care, how are university students with mental health experience managing their health and wellbeing? Loa Gordan will share her graduate research on how students are increasingly seeking self-care as a form of wellness and what the implications of this trend are.
