The YFS Wellness Centre is a dedicated space in the Second Student Centre that provides students with a physical environment in which to relax, inquire and seek support for the betterment of themselves and the community. The space, including the Front Office, Resource Room and Serenity Room, is student-run and operates autonomously from York University. The YFS Wellness Centre is the culmination of student lobbying, input, and struggle spanning more than a decade.

The YFS Wellness Centre will focus on four main pillars of operation:

Mental Health, Physical Health, Combatting Sexual Violence and Harm Reduction.

Our foundational pillars feed into and inform the other, and we believe that the student experience is improved and enriched by the exploration of each. We understand that student presence on a university campus is an act of resistance, and in the face of oppression we hope to provide a space where you can know yourself and be supported. The YFS Wellness Centre strives to be an ever-evolving space, so we always invite and welcome feedback, suggestions and questions for our mutual growth and improvement.
