2017-18 In Review: Providing A Supportive Environment
Seneca talks mental health
The Seneca community helped mark the eighth annual Bell Let’s Talk Day in January 2018. Students and employees took part in the conversation by visiting information booths to speak out about mental health issues, share new ideas and offer hope for those who struggle.
Ensuring health and safety on campus
Seneca continued to offer the Mental Health First Aid Program, providing training to 75 employees throughout 2017-18.
With the implementation of Seneca’s new Sexual Assault and Sexual Violence Policy, online training was made available to all employees, with more than 1,700 employees completing the training throughout the year.
