It’s not uncommon for post-secondary students to experience mental health issues. This can make it difficult, if not impossible, to deal with school while having a productive lifestyle off campus as well. But finding help can be overwhelming; luckily, the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) has resources available.
The MyWellnessPlan is your portal for mental health on and off campus, and it provides students with a full cycle of support through awareness, education, and care, all in one place. Brought to you by the CCSS, MyWellnessPlan provides immediate support and resources for students experiencing mental health issues through a free mental health assessment, video counselling, and tools that help with student-life and mental-health balance.
MyWellnessPlan is available to all students, even if you’ve opted out of or aren’t in the student health and dental insurance plan. You can also continue using MyWellnessPlan after you’ve graduated!
“One of the added bonuses of this plan is the free three hours of free online counselling available to all students,” says Christine Desrochers of the Camosun College Student Society.
Through MyWellnessPlan, students may get an increased awareness and understanding of their own mental health, and it uses a collaborative approach between students and staff to mental health care.
Students can use MyWellnessPlan to take a free, anonymous, and confidential mental health assessment, get access to online counselling, get supports to help with your personal financial education, and access My Toolbox, where you can find helpful and important resources and information to help you strengthen your mental health.
Some other benefits available through MyWellnessPlan include reduced wait times to see a counsellor; a personalized action plan for coping with and managing mental health; and tailored supports and resources.
