Voice
What is Voice?
Voice is an annual community-based participatory action research project (CB-PAR) with an aim to support campus wellbeing. Students, staff, and faculty take part in designing and conducting the research and then taking collective action on the research results to improve and support campus wellbeing.
The Voice methodological framework focuses specifically on health promotion strategies and youth-adult partnerships. Each year, researchers focus on a different theme of health promotion and wellbeing.
