Building Community, Supporting Student Well-Being, Restoring Relationships

At UNBC, we believe that student success is not just about academics, it’s about feeling safe, supported, and heard. 

We take a relationship-centered, holistic approach; ensuring every student has access to the guidance and support they need to move forward in a way that strengthens their well-being and their place within the university community. The Restorative Relations and Student Supports team is here to help students navigate challenges related to distress, conflict, bullying, harassment, and other non-academic misconduct.
