Student Wellness
Why visit the Wellness Centre?
A space to relax and recharge
The Wellness Centre is a dedicated space for students to lounge, read, and relax. You will find an assortment of wellness books, activities, and games for well-needed restoration.
Peer-to-peer support
Our Wellness Peers provide health and wellness support when issues are hard to manage alone. Wellness Peers are trained to ensure a student's safety and care are a priority. They are well-informed resources and supports on and off campuses and can direct you to needed spaces.
Connection groups
For social well-being, our Wellness Peers offer a space to connect over honest and fun topics each month. This is an opportunity to meet like-minded students, discuss health and wellness topics, play games, and socialize.
Pick up health & wellness items
Our spaces provide sexual health info, freebies (condoms, pregnancy kits, dental dams, lube samples) as well as free naloxone kits.

"The physical Wellness Centre space is made to help everyone feel calm, included, and safe. It is lit up by lamps, not harsh fluorescent lights. There are lots of pillows, blankets, and soft, squishy things to cuddle. It is a wonderful space to find some peace and quiet!I would recommend this space to all students; sometimes we need a space to de-stress that is not filled with other people. "

Chat with a wellness peer
You’re welcome to drop by the Student Lounge/Wellness Centre (S1111) during business hours to use the space, connect with others, or see if a Wellness Peer is available.
To ensure a Wellness Peer is available to connect with you during the Summer, we recommend scheduling a drop-in time in advance. Please use your UFV email to complete the drop-in scheduling form.
Please use your UFV email to complete the booking form, found here:
Here’s what your chat will look like:
- The Wellness Peer will meet you at the front desk of S1111
- You can choose any available spot within the Wellness Centre/Student Lounge to sit
- Most chats last between 15 to 30 minutes
- If further support is required, the Wellness Peer will guide you to a resource which is right for you
We cannot guarantee confidentiality or privacy of meetings as the Wellness Centre/Student Lounge is a shared student space. If you are looking for private or ongoing support, a Student Support Referral may be a better fit for you.
