Mental health to me means being kind, listening to your mind and learning to have the self-awareness to recognize when your mind is not feeling or thinking well. It means being able to prioritize your own well being through emotional, mental and physical wellness in order to truly understand yourself and improve your relationship with others. Mental health to me is the primary foundation of the whole person. Mental health is essential to maintaining a good quality of life.
I continue to recognize and understand the challenges and concerns that every student encounters while they are learning and living at Queen’s University. I focus on listening and I provide compassionate feedback to students to enhance their wellbeing and experiences at Queen’s. Staff members have a duty of care to provide professional and effective information and resources to students to support their mental health and wellbeing. Continuing to create a healthy, safe and positive environment by exhibiting compassionate behaviors can improve students mental health.
