Let's Talk Grad Wellness
Grad school is fun, but certainly challenging. It can be academically demanding, making us feel overwhelmed! It can be easy to prioritize everything other than whatever is needed to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally.
To encourage us to think about and promote our wellness, the UofT Graduate and Life Sciences Education (GLSE) paired up with IMSSA & MBPGSA’s Wellness & Wellbeing committees as part of a GLSE-funded initiative, to create a graduate wellness package.
In the GLSE Wellness Package, you will find information on:
- Health resources
- Workshops & programs
- Community support
- Mental health resources
- Counselling and psychotherapy
- Conflict resolution resources
This package aims to prioritize your wellness. We hope that this platform helps prioritize your wellness over anything else. If you have further questions, concerns, or comments, please do not hesitate to contact letstalkgradwellness@gmail.com.
Access to Health and Wellness Resources for Graduate Students at the IMS can also be found through the GLSE Website under Student Life Resources.
Graduate Peer Support Network
The Graduate Peer Support Network is a GLSE-funded initiative founded by graduate students across the Temerty Faculty of Medicine. The purpose of the GPSN is to provide Temerty Faculty of Medicine graduate students with timely mental health and wellness support, and resources via educational seminars and peer mentorship. There are four components to our mission: peer mentorship, graduate student life seminar series, fitness series and research and advocacy.
