STAND

TOGETHER

At Enactus U-Belong, our commitment to fostering a culture of well-being and belonging within the Capilano University community is unwavering. Our mission to raise awareness about mental health issues, reduce stigma, and empower students with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate mental health challenges is at the core of everything we do. 

In 2021, the U-Belong Team garnered funding from the Co-operators, which propelled the production of journals and hosting events dedicated to the community. Since 2023, one of our team members has become part of the Co-operators program as a mental health ambassador, bringing valuable resources and knowledge to our initiatives. 

In 2024, we have made significant strides in spreading mental health awareness through engaging initiatives. We celebrate key observances like World Mental Health Day, Nutrition Month, International Women’s Day, and World Sleep Day by providing valuable tips, sharing empowering stories, and encouraging healthier choices among students on our social media accounts. 

Our interactive events, such as the Enactus Holiday Mixer and Valentine’s Day Affirmation Notes, have been a resounding success, bringing together over 100 students. These events have created a strong sense of connection and community, providing opportunities for students to support each other. During finals week, our Mental Health Corner offered students encouragement and support through uplifting notes and resources, further strengthening our community. 

Our new partnership with Jack.org enriches our offerings with insights from mental health ambassadors, fostering discussions that encourage understanding and support. It also opens up further opportunities for interactive events and initiatives in the future.  

Looking ahead, we are focused on providing greater access to mental health resources and educational content in connection with the hurdles of young entrepreneurs through our website, launching a mental health workshop series. 

Join us in our vision to create a supportive environment that empowers students to manage their mental health effectively while promoting a culture of belonging. Together, we can make a difference!
