As part of CMHA Mental Health Week, join SHW for a Mindful Moment to participate in a short mindfulness or relaxation exercise led by one of our counsellors that you can integrate into your daily routine to cope with stress and reduce feelings of anxiety.
The exercise is pre-recorded so complete it on-demand and revisit whenever you feel the need to press pause.
As a part of CMHA Mental Health Week, SHW wants to help you de-stress with some virtual pet therapy by sharing photos and videos of our own pets on @lakeheadlife's Instagram stories.
Want to share your own adorable pet? Send in a picture of your furry/scaly friend along with their name to activities.shcc@lakeheadu.ca by Friday, May 7th.
As staff and faculty, you are often the first to recognize that a student is in distress so it is important that you feel equipped to identify these behaviours and also understand how you can help. The Supporting Students in Distress Guide and accompanying workshop outline the various levels of distress and the resources you can provide for a student in each level of distress. We will also cover available supports in various areas, both on and off-campus including Counselling and Wellness, Academic Services, Disability Services, Legal and Conduct, and Community Supports.
Registration required. Those who register will receive a recording of the event if unable to attend live. Grad student welcome.
Peer Chat is a virtual way to connect with other students to talk through the different academic and social experiences you have while being a student. The program provides you with the opportunity to gain insight into different student experiences as well as share your own unique skills to help support your peers. Follow @lupeerwellness on Instagram for more information!
March 8 is International Women's Day and this year's theme is #choosetochallenge.
A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.
We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
From challenge comes change, so let's all choose to challenge.
Celebrate Nutrition month by joining Student Health and Wellness for a live, counsellor-led mindful eating meditation session via zoom. Bring your lunch or a snack.
Mindful eating focuses on in-the-moment awareness of the food and drink you put into your body. It involves observing how the food makes you feel and the signals your body sends about taste, satisfaction, and fullness.
No experience necessary – whether you are new to meditation or practice regularly, having the support of a group can help to strengthen your practice.
