Navigate is a peer focused student wellness program at Mount Allison University that helps students navigate mental heath and wellness resources at MtA. You may see us around campus at outreach booths; where we share information about resources on campus, in residence running a workshop/presentation or just heading to class! We also plan events for students during wellness week. Like you we are busy students learning how to set boundaries, prevent burnout and practice self-care. Our goal is to assist fellow students navigating health and wellness at Mount Allison! Join us, let's navigate together!
