Well-being at York

Our commitment to well-being across our campuses is guided by the Well-being Strategy.

Bolstered by a deep understanding of the diverse needs and priorities of the community, York’s holistic Well-being Strategy promotes positive, inclusive and supportive environments for students, staff, faculty and instructors to flourish and be well in all aspects of work and learning.

Our commitment to well-being reflects the University’s priority of Living Well Together, and starts with shaping a healthier, more supportive and enriching environment on all campuses. The Well-being Strategy builds upon our previous Mental Health Strategy and is the result of extensive consultations with members of the York community. All community members are called upon to learn, reflect and take part in this journey to inspire positive change.
