MaKami College has introduced a new wellness support for students: Social strategists. Social strategists will help students create wellness strategies, brainstorm solutions-focused plans, and connect with internal and external services and departments. MaKami Social Strategist Stephanie Urquhart explained that the role differs from counselling in that it is focused on immediate needs, brief emotional support, and wellness strategies. “We can all do tough things and cope through difficult moments, but none of us have to do it alone,” said Urquhart. “Roles like the social strategist can bring in that connection piece and give us somewhere to start when everything feels like too much.”
