Are you passionate about well-being? Do you a special interest in contributing to safe and caring communities?
The Upstanders program consists of 20 hours of workshops and trainings, which focus on how students can support each other in difficult situations, and reduce harms in the university and broader communities. Students develop harm-reduction skills related conflict, mental health and substance use. When students complete the program, they receive sweaters and LinkedIn badges, which represent this micro-credential. They can also apply for Co-Curricular Record credit.
Upstanders is open to both undergraduate and graduate students, and it’s free to enroll in. Students can take the trainings at their own pace.
