Bringing the Standard to Life through Real-World Implementation
While there is no single way of implementing the Standard, there are lessons to be learned from the experiences of other institutions in their implementation journeys. In collaboration with the Mental Health Commission of Canada, the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) interviewed representatives from four Canadian post-secondary institutions varying in type, size, and location, to explore their differing approaches to aligning with the Standard. These conversations provide valuable insights into how institutions are bringing the Standard to life in meaningful and impactful ways. Unlocking the Standard: Supporting Mental Health in Post-Secondary Education shares what four institutions have learned from their implementation journeys so far and how they have strategically leveraged existing strategies and frameworks, how they have built buy-in through champions, and how they continue to overcome barriers through innovative solutions. Championing Campus Well-Being through Student-Centred Initiatives explores how three institutions have taken a student-centred approach to their mental health strategies to ensure that student voices not only are heard but also actively contribute to shaping the direction of mental health initiatives in alignment with the Standard.Unlocking the Standard: Supporting Mental Health in Post-Secondary Education
