Feeling the winter blues? This resource can help
²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ (VCC) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Students at ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵcan now access a clinically moderated mental health support resource where they can connect with a global community of peers with shared lived experiences. Togetherall is a safe and anonymous space in which students can benefit from an online peer-to-peer community by receiving and providing support 24/7. The initiative was made possible thanks in part to a generous contribution from .
Supporting mental health and well-being is closely tied to VCC’s commitment to justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization (JEDI-d), all of which play major roles in our long-term strategic plan for the college.
Togetherall is as an extension of VCC’s robust and continuously growing suite of mental health supports for ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵstudents. Last May, ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵlaunched our Mental Health and Well-being Framework which includes consultation from 1,500 employees and students and outlines how the college will promote and support mental health and well-being. In addition, ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵcollaborated with other B.C. colleges and universities to produce a series of that speak directly to post-secondary students.
Says VCC’s Associate Vice President, Student and Enrolment Services, Clayton Munro:
“When we looked at the key commitments we’ve recently made to support the mental health and well-being of our college community, adding the Togetherall platform lines up extremely well with our renewed focus on community connectedness and increased levels of self-help resources.”
If and when a student is ready sign on, they can simply visit and register using their student email address.
