Project Overview

In 2021, HM|HC’s Support Team assisted Vancouver Community College in the process of formulating VCC’s first Mental Health & Well-being Framework. The process and result reflected VCC’s attraction to a systemic approach for addressing mental health in its own institutional context and a strong engagement of its campus community in describing the desired environment and commitments needed to achieve it. It also reflected HM|HC’s conviction around a robust health promotion perspective as the appropriate conceptual outlook and practical orientation within which to situate such a strategic endeavor.
