York University’s Well-being Strategy promotes a healthy, inclusive and supportive environment that fosters well-being among members of the York community. The initiative was developed on the premise that wellness is a necessary pre-condition to learning and working. York's Well-being Strategy strives to promote a more holistic, and integrated approach to campus health that supports academic excellence, staff satisfaction and productivity, as well as the overall success of all York community members.
Developed through extensive community consultations, York's Well-being Strategy recognizes the needs and priorities of community members and reflects our commitment to shaping healthy, supportive and inclusive environments across all our campuses.
To develop the Well-being Strategy, our Project Sponsors, Co-Chairs, Executive Committee and Advisory Groups established well-being direction and leveraged evidence-based tools to inform the strategy's priorities based on numerous community consultations.
As a signatory to the Okanagan Charter, York is actively promoting healthier, more sustainable and inclusive practices and enhance the resources and programming available to students, staff, faculty and instructors. Learn more about York's commitment to Well-being.
For several years, our strategy was informed by the creation of new connections within the York community, as well as efforts to improve well-being at the institutional level. Learn about the foundation established by staff, students and faculty at York in helping to bring our strategy to life.
