Program (WPP)</strong> is a student-run initiative in which volunteers and Team Leads (work study) promote health education and resources related to five areas: Healthy Campus, Mental Health, Nutritional Health, Substance Awareness, and Sexual Health. They also provide information to students about the Health & Wellness Centre's mental health and medical services. </p><p>The WPP are a reliable source on campus to get connected to wellness opportunities. Collectively, these 70+ student volunteers lead health promotion activities for the purposes of fostering a healthy community. Connect with the WPP at upcoming events such as The Healthy<em>U</em> Experience events, workshops, or tabling in the BV hallway!
