We're excited to release the results from our Mental Health Resource survey! Take a look at these graphics to find out what other students said about some popular mental health-related resources recommended to UofT students.

Keep in mind that mental health support is not one size fits allโ€”just because these were the experiences of these students does not necessarily mean that this is the kind of experience you or another student would have.

We hope that the information here is helpful in understanding some key features of these resources. Please feel free to take a look at the complete resource list on our website to see many more available services.

Despite how common it is to struggle with mental health, it can be difficult to share those stories without fear of stigma or judgement. We want to create an online space where you can tell us your mental health stories, and where others can recognize the validity of these experiences, and the resiliency of those struggling with their mental health. We invite you to both share your own mental health stories, and show you care by giving words of advice and encouragement for others who may be struggling. You can use the form to send us your submissions below, and they will be published completely anonymously!

Have you used a mental health related resource at Vic, U of T, or in the community? Then we want to hear from you! We are compiling a report on fourteen commonly used resources to help other students looking to access these services. If you take a few minutes to fill out this survey about your experience, you will not only be helping your fellow students, but you will also have the chance to win Victoria College merchandise! Be sure to fill out your survey by March 13.

Today, let's think about mental health. We've all seen the statistics: we know how common it is to struggle with mental health, and this especially applies to those aged 15-24. Unfortunately, having open conversations about those struggles is not as common.

No one should suffer in silence. We need to have conversations with those in our lives about mental health, and not let shame or stigma win. Let's join the conversation.

Today is World Mental Health Day. This year has been an especially trying one for many people's mental health, and we have all had to show a great deal of resiliency to take care of our wellbeing throughout the pandemic. This Mental Health Day, we hope that you remember to check in on yourself, your loved ones, and your peers, and to reach out to support if you are struggling. Today, and every other day of the year, let's put our mental health first.
