A new resource for UBC Vancouver and Okanagan students experiencing grief in different forms and those who support others who are grieving. The work of the Compassionate University Project at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) was the cornerstone of this document and was adapted by the UBC Okanagan campus. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with undergraduate and graduate students, funded by the UBC Wellbeing Strategic Initiative Fund, in 2024 to tailor content for students at UBC. Students, faculty, and staff worked collaboratively to contribute and co-create this document. Included throughout the guide are campus-specific resources for UBC Vancouver and Okanagan students to recognize grief, offer support to others, and to familiarize themselves with the resources available to students on either campus.
