Building healthy habits: Spiritual health
Find your purpose
Between ages 18 - 25, your life-guiding principles, aspirations, and sense of self are solidifying. During this time, the need for finding purpose and building community becomes much stronger. This time of transition and exploration may bring anxiety and insecurity. The Spiritual Care and Multi-faith Centre is able to provide support if this is your experience.
While spirituality may include traditional forms of faith, it is not limited to this. Spirituality can be incorporated by anyone into all aspects of daily life.
