OUR SOLUTIONS

we’ll make a change by…

As our mission statement outlines, we seek to raise awareness of brain health and to advocate for UBC students to ensure they have the ability to access resources for brain health. To meet these goals we wish to distinguish between the two major sections of brain health: mental health and physical neurological health.

To raise awareness we hope to perform presentations on mental-wellbeing for high school students and UBC students (notably students in Science One and first-year residents). In the future we also hope to partner with Brain Canada to further support research into brain health and healthcare technology.

To ensure healthcare accessibility for UBC students, we want to recognize that although there are support systems in place, UBC is large and wait-times and self-advocacy are deterrents to students wellbeing on campus. We primarily want to apply pressure to UBC services to ensure they can accommodate all individuals needs and to tentatively push for an “out-reach” healthcare support system to better serve the community. This means we hope to push for UBC services that are mobile and meet the needs of individuals where they’re already at. This potentially looks like developing a peer-counselling system at UBC, partnering with UBC counselling to create workshops for students, and residence events.
