Wellness and Self-Care

Mount Royal University is committed to promoting health and well-being.
Self-care is a key aspect of professional practices and self-care strategies will be considered in integrative seminars. Additionally, it is important to discuss wellness and self-care in the practicum agency.
There are resources available at MRU through Wellness Services.

Mental Health:

Are students feeling overwhelmed, stressed and anxious? Are they finding it hard to be motivated, meet deadlines or attend class? Maybe they are having a hard time sleeping, concentrating or retaining information no matter how much they study. Help is available!
See MRU Mental Health for help.

Physical Health

As emerging professionals, it is important to consider the various health concerns that clients may be experiencing, and to which students may on a rare occasion come into contact. Many agencies will have policies and procedures in place and students are encouraged to speak to their supervisor about any health concerns they may have.
Given the variations in trends related to health concerns, it is impossible to project with accuracy the specific health concerns for each practicum term. However, the following information provides a basic overview of some of the most common infections/diseases that they may come across in the placement. There are resources available via Health Link Alberta (403) 943-5465 or online at www.albertahealthservices.ca

Campus Equity and Meaningful Inclusion

Students are encouraged to find general information as well as information on how to address issues related to diversity, inclusion, discrimination, harassment, accommodation, healthy relationships and dating, domestic and sexual violence.
