"Exceeded Our Expectations"

Erik Loewen, West Island College, Calgary

Tailwind keeps our students’ well-being at the forefront of everything they do, and their program is unique and engaging. I’ve been so impressed with their dedication to helping students transition into post-secondary.

"The program I wish I had in my first year"

Ria Viswewaran, Student, Laurier University

"It’s not the same regurgitated information you see online, it’s actual advice from students and graduates who have been through similar experiences. The tools to help deal with anxiety and networking are lifelong gamechangers."

"Exactly what I needed when I needed it most"

Stephanie Evans, Student, Memorial University

"I was completely burnt out. I knew I needed to work on self-care but didn't know how. Tailwind gives me the tools and support to help reduce anxiety during university and daily life."

"Truly understand the reality of starting post-secondary and moving away from home, from a young person’s perspective."

Roger, Alex, and Hella, Toronto

Our daughter was in the process of deciding on her program and school to select and we all had so many questions but did not know anyone impartial that could guide us through this, until we worked with Tailwind. Their guidance was a tremendous help and it really brought the anxiety levels down.

"Very Informative"

Félix Lavigne, Student, Laurentian University

This taught me things I wish I knew in 1st year and helped reinforce the ideas and importance of mental health. I would love to see this campus wide

"Super Easy to Navigate"

Tyler Macdouell, London International Academy, London

The program is super easy to navigate and we’re excited to see the conversations that come from it.

As a parent of two university age kids, and someone who trains adults on techniques to support their own growth and "life work balance", this course is a great tool to help make a busy time of transition just a little bit easier. Setting kids up for success with strategies that will allow them to find their own success is critical and this is such a great way to get them involved!

This course was short + sweet, yet very informative. This taught me things I wish I knew in 1st year and helped reinforce the ideas and importance of Mental health. I would love to see this campus wide as the benefits and possibilities are endless with this adaptable course. This would help destigmatize mental illness, and promote mental wellness to students as well as educate students on the resources available to them.
