Healthy Campus Saskatchewan comes to DTI

Healthy Campus Saskatchewan (HCS) was established to support the health and wellbeing of students across post-secondary institutions. It includes 19 post-secondary institutes and various community organizations throughout the province.

HCS aims to create healthy, resilient campus communities where students feel safe and supported. Their goal is to equip students with the knowledge, tools, and resources needed to achieve their personal, academic, and future career goals.

The Dumont Technical Institute (DTI) was invited to partner in this initiative by creating a Peer Health Outreach Support Group within the institute. Currently, the group consists of three DTI student volunteers who develop and deliver topics relevant to their peers, aiming to present a new topic each month.

All DTI students can access the Peer Health Outreach Support Group presentations, which are posted on Brightspace in the “KeepmeSAFE” section.

The student volunteers delivered their first Peer Health presentation to the Regina Office Admin program on March 2, 2021. The presentation focused on “Healthy Relationships” and included a PowerPoint, a Kahoot game, discussion time, and a student survey. The presentation was well received and is now available in Brightspace. Be sure to check it out!

The student volunteers are gaining confidence, new skills, and valuable experience while supporting each other. It’s inspiring to see their enthusiasm, and we look forward to their future projects.

GDI is a Saskatchewan-based educational, employment, and cultural institute serving Métis communities across the province.
