The Ontario government is providing $2.39 million to help improve mental health supports and services for postsecondary students. The funding is part of Ontario's Roadmap to Wellness and will support eight innovative projects at select colleges, universities and Indigenous Institutes.
“COVID-19 has been a difficult time for many of our college and university students. This pandemic has further underscored the need to invest in mental health services,” said Ross Romano, Minister of Colleges and Universities. “These new projects will help institutions build better services and partnerships for virtual and on-campus mental health supports - creating the best conditions possible for students to achieve their goals.”
