There are currently two Calm Rooms on University of Alberta (U of A) campuses (Edmonton North and Calgary), which are housed in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. These two non-academic spaces (no studying or homework allowed!) are intended as proofs of concept, meaning that if shown to be successful and well-received, we would like to help other students create similar mental health spaces across campus. This is just a first step, and represents one group of occupational therapy students' contribution towards what we hope is a profound cultural shift in the perception and value of mental health self-care.
