Thrive 5+
There are many ways to foster and maintain good mental health, and research consistently points to five ways that can help promote a healthy mind. We call these the Thrive 5, and they are simple, easy-to-implement ways to help support your mental health.
But there are many other ways to foster and maintain mental health—it is very diverse, and what works for some may not work for others. That's why we encourage you to explore the "Thrive 5+" and use Thrive as an opportunity to explore your path to mental health—whatever that may look like!

- Mental Health & Resilience Dashboard on Sustainability Hub
At UBC Okanagan, the Sustainability Office leads the charge in making this campus a model for sustainability and regeneration.
