The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health promotion as the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. Health promotion supports communities and individuals to cope with and address health challenges.
Carleton’s Health Promotion team is dedicated to making health information clear and accessible to all Carleton students with a focus on mental health, substance use health, sexual health, and healthy lifestyle choices. The Health Promotion team empowers students to take control of their health by improving knowledge, skills, and awareness in all areas of student wellness.
We offer free workshops, events, and educational content through Quote the Raven and Instagram @carletonwellness.
