How are changing substance use trends shaping student well-being and behaviours in academic life?

In this episode of The EDII Catalyst, Dr. Kim Hellemans (Associate Professor and Associate Dean of Science, Carleton University) joins us to reflect on how substance use, mental health, and academic culture intersect within student populations.

Hosted by Eden Goodwin (PhD candidate, C2MCI Micro team HQP), this episode highlights practical approaches to modeling healthy behaviours in academia, including how to recognize early signs of distress and foster open and stigma-free conversations around substance use.

At C2MCI, we are dedicated to advancing the science and technology of carbon to metal coatings. Our mission is to innovate and share cutting-edge research, practical applications, and industry insights to enhance the durability, efficiency, and sustainability of metal surfaces.

We host regular conversations with leading researchers and professionals to raise awareness and learning around equity, diversity, inclusion and Indigeneity in STEM and hope to inspire you to become a “catalyst” for change in your own communities and workplaces!

Join our community of scientists, engineers, and enthusiasts to stay informed and inspired.
