Tanaka Shumba and Juliana Gomes Pontes are part of the Stay Connected Mental Health Project, which gives 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ and King’s students in Halifax the opportunity to meet with other students who can provide safe mental health advice and support.

Jordan Boudreau knew he was interested in a medical degree, but didn't know how to get there. His journey through 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ, with the help of his professors, has led him exactly where he wanted to be.

Q-Life, launched last month, is a new online program free to all Dal and King's students that supports skill development in helping to manage feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious and stressed.

Dalmazing 2.0, a large-scale interprofessional education last month, brought together students from more than 20 different health professions to dive deeper into understanding the bias and stigma surrounding obesity.

Christina Elgee, nurse manager for 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ Student Health & Wellness, is more than just a supportive on-campus health care worker — she's a mentor to dozens of Dal Nursing students each year. That's why she's this year's recipient of the Canadian Nursing Students’ Association Award for the Recognition of Preceptors and Mentors.
