SCHW’s dynamic team of health care professionals, peer health educators, and support staff collaborate to provide a range of health and well-being services that foster academic success, student development and an engaged community at York University.
The primary aim of SCHW is to support students in realizing and developing their personal potential and manage the demands of university life. Achieving the aim requires that SCHW provides a safe and supportive space in which all students at York have equitable access to services that support their success and well-being.
