Student Testimonials
"Bounce Back helped me realize that it’s okay to need support and that asking for help doesn’t mean you’re failing. I also learned simple techniques, like box breathing, which I now use when I feel overwhelmed or stressed.” - Diego
“The Bounce Back program gave me the support and strategies I needed to gain control of my academics and mental well-being. It helped me stay organized, reduce stress, and build meaningful connections within a welcoming community as a first-year student at the University of Windsor. The program had a lasting impact on both my confidence and my academic journey.” - Norma
"I love the staff, administration and the other students in the program. Every single person was so compassionate and supportive toward each other. I will definitely recommend this program to the people I know who are currently in the university because this is the best program to overcome the weakness and flourish the great academic skills that will be so helpful in the future."
"Bounce Back is not just a series of workshops or seminars that you would typically find in UWindsor. This is a fullfledged support program for students that really need help. Not only does the program help you with your academic life, it also teaches you ways to handle problems in your personal life and things you could do to bring improvement to it as well."
