12. Navigating this Pandemic - Student Wellness
<p>It has been over two years since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We asked students what their concerns are at this stage of the pandemic, and we received responses ranging from student mental health to how to listen to and talk to people with differing views, to how to navigate these times of uncertainty and also how to recognize fake news on social media especially around public health measures, vaccine information and of COVID prognoses. This episode is the second episode of a 3 part mini-series diving into the topic of student wellness.</p> <p>In this episode, we sit down with Christine Cabildo from the Wellness Supports Team at the University of Alberta to talk about what strategies students can employ to help manage their wellbeing. Joining us, we also have student guests, Krishna Patel, Simran Pherwani, Hannah Bayne, and Peyton deMoissac who talk about what they did to nurture their mental health and overall wellbeing during the pandemic.</p> <p>If you, or someone you know is struggling right now, we’ve created a resource list of support services in Alberta and across Canada to help you. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oOd25wVjFGu6BhUEmq8angUil3hbbL_X/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">You can access it here</a>.</p> <p>Want to find out more about WISEST?
