There is no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the mental health pressures on our young people

The Keith & Sharon Segal Fund for International Musical Development will be created following a donation of $1m from guard.me International Insurance founders.

Insurance provider guard.me has made its mental health webinars available free to assist students who may be struggling due to the coronavirus crisis.

The Segal family, who have run the international insurance brokers guard.me since its founding in 1998, have donated C$1m to Niagara College. 

Insurance provider Guard.me has been recognised as one of Canada’s fastest growing companies on Canadian Business' Growth 500 Ranking.

Health scares, a lost passport, an earthquake; there are a plethora of risks that can occur while studying or working overseas. As Beckie Smith discovers, many of the risks that students and staff face can be managed best with insight from specialist consultancies, insurance companies and crisis management specialists.

The global insurance provider's donation will support overseas student initiatives at Toronto-based Centennial College.

International insurance provider, guard.me, has announced it is donating $400,000 to Georgian College in Canada to help expand its international offering.
