Student Wellness
A Space for Connection, Community, and Well-Being
The Student Wellness and Experience Lounges are vibrant, student-centered spaces designed to support your academic and personal journey. It’s a place to study, meet friends, build community, and access resources that support well-being.
Peer Support
Wellness Peers foster connection and care at UFV by offering peer support, leading groups and events, and sharing helpful resources. They are approachable student leaders dedicated to promoting mental wellness and belonging.
Connection groups
For social well-being, our Wellness Peers offer a space to connect over honest and fun topics each month. This is an opportunity to meet like-minded students, discuss health and wellness topics, play games, and socialize.
Pick Up Health, Wellness & Harm Reduction Items
Our spaces provide sexual health information and free supplies - including condoms, pregnancy test kits & lube - as well as resources like take home naloxone kits, supporting your health and safety in a convenient, stigma-free way.

Pages of the Past
Take a mindful break and celebrate you! Create your own memory collage filled with photos, drawings, and memories that capture your personal journey. It’s like a vision board, but for your past. Reflect, relax, and reconnect with your growth. Send us a collage or photo to have it printed before or during the event. (One printout per person, so make it your best shot!) All craft materials & snacks provided! Please let us know you'll stop by.

Colour & Reflect
Take a break from the exam rush and join us for a cozy, creative space to de-stress and reflect on the semester. Drop in anytime to sip some tea, colour or doodle, and explore gentle journaling prompts like “What helps me recharge?” or “What’s one thing I’m grateful for today?” You can also write a Reflection Postcard to your future self or another student, using prompts such as “A reminder I want to give myself next semester is…” or “Something I’m proud of from this semester is…” Choose to keep your postcard or add it to our reflection wall. Tea, colouring supplies, and good vibes are provided.
