💖 Connect with peers (and grab a candy)

We are social beings and connecting with others is good for our mental health, even if it's just for a moment, even if it's just to say "hi!" The Student Outreach Wellness Leaders (OWLS) and Student Development and Counselling invite you to stop by their booth to do just that.

📅 Wednesday, March 26, 11 am – 1 pm
📍 Senator Burns – main floor by Natoysopoyiis

💓 How Student Development and Counselling can help you thrive

Being a student can be demanding. Balancing schoolwork with life’s demands can take a toll. But you’re not in it alone.

Counselling gives you tools to support your mental wellness and one-on-one time with someone who wants to listen and help you plan for life’s challenges.

We talked to Student Development and Counselling (SDC) about the top three reasons students seek support, and what you can do to help fellow students in need.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
