This CICMH toolkit highlights the barriers that students living with a chronic health condition may face, as well as how these challenges influence their mental health. Beyond the often demanding symptoms themselves, they must also deal with the complexity of the healthcare system, coordinating care teams, obtaining accommodations, and managing the impact on their daily lives while pursuing their studies. All of these factors can create a considerable emotional and practical burden.
The purpose of this toolkit is to provide a solid knowledge base to better support higher education students living with chronic health conditions, raise awareness of their reality, and offer recommendations tailored to their specific challenges.
