Mental Health Policy Initiative

Throughout its first year in operation during the 2021/22 academic year, MHPI began to develop its first Impact Assessment, to understand the challenges posed to student mental health by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated shift to remote/hybrid learning.

This initiative continued into the 2022/23 academic year where MHPI built upon this initial effort to help create a dialogue on mental health between students and their university, based on mutual understanding and respect. Mental health affects us all, and only together can we make strides in this vital area of shared concern.

During the 2023/24 school year, MHPI plans to gain more insight into the mental health of all of the Munk School students to create a significant change. 

Students who join MHPI may have the opportunity to work on developing and conducting the 2023/24 MHPI Impact Assessment.
