Brock University students are invited to complete the Canadian Campus Well-being Survey by Friday, April 26.Brock University has partnered with the Canadian Campus Well-being Survey (CCWS) to gain insight into how to better support student mental health.
CCWS responses will help identify the most common health-related issues affecting students’ academic performance and well-being, sub-groups of students experiencing particular challenges and requiring specific supports, and areas of strength that can be built on within the campus community.
“The Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre is devoted to providing high-quality care and support to our students and this survey is an important step in understanding those needs,” says Allison Drew-Hassling, Executive Director, Student Wellness and Accessibility.
The confidential online survey takes about 20 minutes to complete, and participants can choose to skip any of the questions. The survey closes on Friday, April 26.
Students can access the survey by clicking on the link that was sent to their Brock email address on Monday, March 25. The survey is voluntary and students who participate will have a chance to win one of 20 $50 Amazon gift cards.
The CCWS results will be made available to students, staff and faculty as part of Brock’s commitment to cultivating a culture of well-being for students and to allow researchers to conduct secondary data analyses.
“I’m extremely pleased that Brock University will be utilizing the Canadian Campus Well-being Survey,” says Associate Professor in Child and Youth Studies Matthew Kwan, who is the principal investigator. “Having been a part of the group to create this pan-Canadian toolkit, I understand its importance for getting a pulse of student health and well-being, and having key data to help universities optimize policies and practices.”
