Testimonial
“The Sports and Recreational Centre have truly been a strong source of support for my health. I had recently contacted Campus Care about my mental health issues and they got me in contact with Michael and Stefan. Both trainers helped me through testing my abilities, creating an exercise and nutrition plan. Although I am still going through mental health issues, interacting with the Sport and Recreation Centre have improved control of my life and other improvements in my life. I would go far to say that the services they offered were one of my only reasons why I have still functioned in my studies. I know I am not the only person who deals with mental health issues and I think these services can help improve the mental health of the University as a whole!!" - Anonymous student
