Niagara Holistic Wellness Portal
Inspired by the Aboriginal concept of the Medicine Wheel, this is a resource tool for students to use to gather information about mental health and wellness, reflect upon their own emotional well-being, and learn about local resources which are available to them. This sit serves as a tool for students to gather information and resources for themselves, or for friends and family.
