This program was what got me excited about attending U of T.

It was refreshing to see a big Western university putting value on intersectional knowledge that is not centered around the Western world, and that encouraged diverse discussion of mental health that values community kindness and inclusion.

As a U of T alum and now grad student in clinical psychology, I can say that the courses and instruction offered through New College were formative not just to my career but to my identity.

I saw it as a remarkable home for passionate, wise instructors.

I can think of so many friends and colleagues who have described their time with these courses as nothing short of life-changing.

BPMH is part of why I have chosen UofT…. It is not only an academic program; it plays a role in helping students, the wider community and even global mental health.

U of T, as a leading university, should care about something like this.

The BPMH program is a very unique offering, compared to what’s available here at the University of Toronto and at many other institutions.

Given that research and academia is heading towards greater interdisciplinary collaboration, this program is positioned for growth and success in the evolving landscape of education.

I know that I am not alone when I say that the BPMH program is central to my undergraduate plans.

Opportunities to harmonize academic knowledge with practical applications for living a fulfilling life are rare within the university milieu. This program stands as a beacon of such balance, offering a unique space where academic rigor met with practical wisdom.

It is an oasis for those of us seeking not just knowledge, but transformation.

The program’s value cannot be overstated—it is indeed a diamond in the rough, one that must be preserved for the enrichment it brings to its students and the broader community.

BPMH program equips students with the skills necessary to conduct meaningful, rigorous, and ethical scientific inquiry that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

This program and its faculty stand as an exemplar for fostering a sense of responsibility in the ethical and rigorous pursuit and application of knowledge.
