The BCIT Student Association is dedicated to supporting student health and wellbeing.

We do this by providing eligible students with a Health and Dental insurance plan, as well as by offering a variety of programs and services designed to promote a healthy lifestyle and to bring awareness to physical and mental wellness.

Health and Wellness events sponsored by the SA fun and informative and include:

• Zen Lounge – Stressed out? Relax with a FREE massage!
• Speak Up Speak Out – a three day informative mental health awareness campaign packed with lots of fun activities
• Doggy De-Stress Day – Research has shown that spending time with a furry friend can improve your mood and reduce stress. What better way to relieve some of the stress and anxiety of exams than to spend a few minutes enjoying the company of some cute and cuddly dogs?
• QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) – a 60 minute suicide prevention training course. According to the 2013 National College Health Assessment, approximately 1 in 10 Canadian post-secondary students report that they seriously considered suicide in the last 12 months.
