Building sustainable peer networks through an outdoor orientation program in support of student wellbeing
This study examined the impact of a peer-led outdoor orientation program (OOP) on the wellbeing of university students. The OOP, designed to support students in their transition to post-secondary education, was offered each summer over a 10-year period. Drawing upon journal reflections and interviews from peer-leaders and student participants, data from 15 interviews and 19 reflective journals were thematically analyzed to identify the impacts of…
“Confident, Supportive, and Capable”
Background: Initial effects of participation in outdoor orientation programs (OOPs) have been well-documented. However, there are few studies that examine longitudinal outcomes. Purpose: This study explored the long-term effects of engaging in an OOP. Methodology/Approach: This study employed the Most Significant Change technique and implemented a retrospective qualitative approach to understand the meaningful lessons participants learned as well…
Incongruent Expectations
While the early mental health of girls and boys is similar, as children age, girls tend to report worse mental health than boys. Explanations for these gendered disparities remain elusive. This study seeks to understand the social context in which mental health experiences are shaped. Utilizing a qualitative, constructivist approach to grounded theory, we conducted virtual semi-structured interviews with young people between ages 11 and 17 years …
“My Favourite Self
Background: The short-term impacts of outdoor orientation programs (OOPs) have been documented in the literature for close to 40 years. While there is a fair amount of research examining the immediate effects of OOPs, there are relatively few studies exploring long-term impacts. Purpose: This study examined the important longitudinal “lessons learned” from participating in an OOP. Methodology/Approach: This study utilized a retrospective qualitat…
How can practitioner action research support the design, implementation, and evaluation of on-campus mental health and addiction services
In every sector, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of mental health resources for wellbeing. Although scholars have long recognized the interdependent relationship between academic success and positive mental health, research that can be used to guide mental health service design and delivery in post-secondary institutions is relatively unexplored. Further, the experiences of practitioners, in their day-to-day operations toward…
“I don't like it, but it is nice…”
Youth experiences in nature are changing. This paper presents results of a qualitative study that was conducted with 74 Canadian young people (ages 10-18). Its goal was to learn from Canadian youth about how they navigate, understand, and interpret their experiences in nature. Findings demonstrate that young people experience nature in multidimensional, unpredictable, complex, and sometimes contradictory, ways. We had questions about the responsi…
The Creation of a Mental Health Policy in Higher Education
The mental wellness of university students can be critical for their success. In an attempt to minimize stress for students, many universities have implemented a policy for a fall break with limited evidence to support its intended outcomes. This case study offers a critical appraisal of the formation of the fall break policy at one medium sized comprehensive university using qualitative and quantitative forms of evidence triangulated from (1) Un…
Spirituality in the health curricula in Canada
Background: The spiritual dimensions of health offer important protective benefits to young people. Yet, little is known about how concern for these is operationalised for youth in school curricula. Objectives: This rapid review examined if, and if so how, the spiritual dimensions of health were being conceptualised in school curricula and, in turn, how the curricula proposed that the spiritual health of young people is best supported. Method: Us…
