Understanding Wellness Through an Indigenous Lens with Jessica Tabak

Our mission is to promote mental health awareness and well-being among the graduate student population at the University of Toronto.

Grad Minds: UTGSU Official Mental Health Committee

Come and understand wellness through an Indigenous lens!

<p>Using the medicine wheel, participants complete a self-assessment to determine how balanced one is. The Medicine Wheel reminds us that we need to balance all four aspects of our being—the spiritual, emotional, physical and mental aspects. When we become out-of-balance, we can become unwell. In addition, understanding the differences between contemporary wellness and wellness through an Indigenous lens will be explored. </p><h2>Jessica Tabak</h2><p><strong>Indigenous Student Support Specialist, UTM</strong></p><p>Jessica is an Anishinaabe Kwe from Chippewas of Nawash First Nation, and Hungarian.
