ABSTRACT
In recent years, there has been a growing movement among Canadian higher education institutions to enhance students' and faculty's state of well-being – since well-being is unquestionably impacted by the settings in which people learn, work, and live. In first designing healthy and supportive campus communities, the Okanagan Charter recommends creating supportive environments and generating thriving communities to promote a culture of well-being. Simon Fraser University (SFU) has focused on executing forward-thinking, healthy, campus community efforts. SFU, specifically, has implemented a whole-campus settings approach and successfully created a more healthy and supportive community on site. The Healthy Campus Community initiative at SFU has focused on facilitating collective, systemic, and innovative action for well-being to improve its campus culture and environments. In addition, on the SFU Safety and Risk Services website, other personal safety guides and workshops of relevance to wellness are listed for students, faculty, and staff alike to access.
