Parents and guardians of the uOttawa student community can book an appointment with a Health Promotion Specialist to discuss and learn more about the health and wellness services available to their children throughout their studies.  

The sessions can be used to discuss services related to:  

• academic support 
• physical and mental health 
• community building 
• other services that are available to uOttawa students 

The Health Promotion Specialist will work in accordance with the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA). 

Important note: This service is only available from mid-August to mid-September for the Fall term, and the month of January for the Winter term. We look forward to meeting with you then!
