## Wellness Programs
As part of a greater focus on wellness, in 2013 we committed to OCAD U's Campus Mental Health Initiative, a collective effort to promote mental health and wellbeing on campus. The health and wellbeing of students, faculty and staff at OCAD U is one of our core commitments.
OCAD U offers extended health and dental coverage for OCAD U students, provided by Alumo (previously known as Studentcare), and OCAD U employees can access health and wellbeing benefits through our Employee Assistance Program. Health and wellness services for students are provided by the Student Wellness Centre, including the Peer Wellness Programs as well as on-campus and community crisis supports. Indigenous student wellness is supported through counselling services, peer wellness, traditional medicines, wellness kits and community health supports.

## Mindful Campus
Created in partnership with the Centre for Mindfulness Studies, our Mindful Campus program is designed to help emerging creatives develop techniques that will help them flourish. This initiative includes mindfulness-training activities to teach students coping skills, increase optimism and strengthen connections, promoting both academic and personal success. Mindful Campus offers videos, in-person and virtual group classes, and student wellness peer supports. Programming also includes regular pop-up social activities on campus, like yoga sessions, film screenings, and crafting workshops designed to promote mindfulness in a peer setting.
