Strategies For Post-Secondary Students to Increase Resilience

When students begin college or university, they may face significant personal and academic stressors on their own for the first time.

The resource, From Surviving to Thriving, can help build resilience and mitigate the negative impact from stressful situations. That way, rather than just surviving their post-secondary experience, students can thrive. 

It can also allow students to reflect on potential and actual stressors and choose healthy coping strategies to deal with them.

From Surviving to Thriving is not intended as a medical or mental health intervention. If the student is currently experiencing significant challenges, they should reach out for support:

Consider contacting a health care professional, the school’s student services, or Crisis Services Canada: 1 833 456 4566. For residents of Quebec only, please call Services de Crises du Canada: 1 866 277 3553.
