Jack.org Dalhousie

We are the official Jack.org Chapter at Dalhousie University, part of Jack.org - Canada’s only charity that trains and empowers young people to create positive change for mental health in their communities.

Our chapter supports students throughout their university experience by promoting mental health awareness, increasing mental health literacy, reducing stigma, and encouraging open conversations. We strengthen student wellbeing at Dalhousie and in the community by helping students connect with one another, access supports, and feel confident supporting their peers.

We deliver educational and community based programming, including workshops, peer learning activities, outreach, awareness campaigns, resource sharing, and fun community building events. We share tools and supports from Jack.org, Dalhousie, and local community partners to help students learn about mental health, build coping skills, and know where to find support.
