Who We Are
Our Mission
We foster TMU student and community well-being through high quality health and accessibility services, health and education system leadership and authentic partnerships and collaboration.
Strategic Priorities
Equitable and inclusive access to care and education | Collaborate with community partners inside and outside of TMU to ensure we live up to our commitment to an approach steeped in health equity, accessibility, and inclusion, that honours our students’ voice and lived experience. |
Co-create an integrated student health and well-being experience | Balance integrated upstream and downstream support services and community engagement strategies as we enable student and community well-being across campus and in our local communities. |
Connect health and well-being to learning | Inextricably align health and well-being supports, services and programming to learning processes and outcomes, student development, and academic success. |
Drive health and education system innovation in partnership with our students | Lead and support system level innovation to better meet the needs of our students and local communities, as we partner with the downtown east Toronto neighbourhood, Brampton, and beyond to enable better access to effective health and wellbeing care and inclusive educational experiences for post secondary students. |
Student Wellbeing Health Equity Commitment Statement
- We are committed to understanding that students are experts in their own experiences, and to working collaboratively with them, the TMU community, our neighbours in downtown Toronto and our partners in other communities to cultivate wellbeing.
- We are actively committed to acknowledging and reducing health disparities, and to co-creating structures and practices with our students and community members that recognize and address health inequities.
- We are devoted to adopting a comprehensive, trauma-informed and systemic approach to care that considers the whole person, and that is rooted in accessibility and an understanding of the social determinants of health.
- We are committed to taking responsibility for making positive change in the lives of students and the community, and will take direct and ongoing action to address ableism, attitudinal barriers, anti-Asian racism, anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-2SLGBTQIA+ discrimination, and other forms of racism and oppression.
- We are committed to learning, unlearning and supporting one another as members of Student Wellbeing as we embrace bringing about positive change in the lives of students and the community through our work.
