UBC Wellbeing

Examples and Research

UBC's support for wellbeing can be found threaded throughout strategic plans, in research projects across diverse disciplines, and embedded through a broad range of programs, services and initiatives across the University.

We invite you to learn more about how our community members are supporting wellbeing on our campuses and encourage you to share and celebrate your own research, stories of success and wellbeing champions! 

Do you have a story to share about an initiative, program, research project, or resource that supports health and wellbeing at UBC? Submit your story via the link below to be featured on our website, social media or digital Wellbeing Annual Report!
