The CARE2 Plan: Student Mental Health and Well-being at NIC

North Island College recognizes that mental health and well-being are core components of success for both individuals and communities.

Launched in May 2022, The CARE2 Plan is a snapshot of who and where we are at this moment and our aspirations for the next five years.

The CARE2 Plan takes a strength-based approach to supporting student mental health and well-being, focused on enhancing personal resilience and agency. This means that in addition to providing supports for students in distress or crisis, NIC recognizes the importance of resilience, capacity-building and self-advocacy as vital tools for developing and sustaining mental health and well-being.

A key component of the plan is accountability; see our dashboard reports at the right.
