Mental health at SAIT
Societal stigma has created a barrier for many people seeking support when it comes to mental health. However, your mental health is just as important as your physical health. It can impact how you think, feel and act, including how you manage stress in your day-to-day life. Even if your mental health is in a good place, it’s important to develop strategies to manage your mental health should things change.
Student Development and Counselling can help you develop new skills and strategies to prevent or manage times when you experience poor mental health. If you are experiencing challenges with your mental health or want to improve your overall well-being, please use the following resources or reach out to us. We’re here to help.
Positive mental health and success
Student success isn't just about grades or getting the next big internship. It’s about flourishing and finding joy in everyday moments. Positive mental health is the key. We encourage you to look within yourself, discover your passions, and embrace who you truly are.
We want you to imagine this: waking up each day excited to learn, not just for the sake of productivity and getting the highest grades, but to explore what brings you satisfaction and fulfillment. Whether it’s connecting with friends, enjoying a favourite hobby, or simply appreciating what’s around you, these experiences can boost your overall wellbeing.
When you prioritize your mental health, you open a door of opportunity to an exciting and more meaningful life. When you take the time to nourish your mind, body, and spirit, your definition of success changes into something truly incredible.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
