Section: 16 of 27

In this section, we will outline the various ways to support students who have chronic health conditions. As mentioned earlier, students with chronic health conditions may grapple with stress, grief, and low moods due to the difficulties of their condition and the structural barriers. The following section will outline actions that may remove/reduce those barriers or empower students to be able to navigate post-secondar. In saying that, we want to acknowledge that each campus may differ in their accessibility and accommodations policies. Therefore, we encourage consulting with your post secondary institutions on any specific practices.
