LEGEND

Student well-being and good mental health are critical foundations for student success. We are committed to creating a culture of caring and support, and recognize that improving the health of our campus is a collective effort and shared commitment. Our community of staff members, faculty, and students are equipped with information about how to identify, respond and refer a student in distress.

Mental Health and Wellness

Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Prevention

Responsible Drinking

At McMaster University, we are committed to taking action to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence through training delivery, active programming and critical messaging. We place the highest priority on survivor safety and ensuring that the campus is a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment for all members of our community.

All events sanctioned by McMaster University during Welcome Week are alcohol-free to promote the safety and well-being of our students. Students who choose to drink alcohol during Welcome Week and orientation are encouraged to do so responsibly, set limits and should be aware of supports and resources for addressing over-consumption.
