Claudia and Nikiel

Claudia Daboin and Nikiel Lal, Kinesiology students and former executives in the Student Union Society (SUS), talk about what it means to advocate for students and the importance of mental health. From the UFV breakfast program to Kickback, they share how students are supporting students in meeting basic needs and building community. They also provide us with important advice for instructors on creating a safe space to talk about mental health and remind us of the importance of recognizing students as humans first.
