Navi is a virtual tool to help you navigate through the mental health resources available at U of T. It’s a good starting point to learn about the range of resources available or to narrow down your options to find what suits you best. You can use Navi to connect to community resources beyond U of T as well.
If you’re ever confused or struggling and need a trained peer to:
hear you out
support you
connect you to useful resources
Health & Wellness peer support is here to help. With a single click, chat with a trained University of Toronto student peer about whatever is on your mind, right away. Support is offered in a one-on-one, drop-in, non-judgemental, confidential and accessible virtual space.
Note: Service will be closed for the summer as of May 27. The service will re-launch in the fall. Check this webpage for further updates.
A SHINE Wellness Ambassador (WA) is a medical student peer who can act as a hub for wellness resources for medical learners in Foundations.
Wellness Ambassadors are NOT COUNSELLORS***
WAs are medical learners with knowledge of many campus and community wellness resources. Although WAs are able to provide informal peer support, their main focus is on resource navigation.
