Need a break? 

Drop by the Student Health and Wellness activity room and join our Peer Wellness Educators for an afternoon of arts and crafts.

We'll be painting wood slices that can be made into ornaments. 

No experience or registration required.

It's that time of year again! Take time for yourself over the winter break by signing up for the Winter WellU Wishlist. Evidence-based wellness practices will be delivered right to your inbox to help you make yourself a priority and reset for the new year.

You will receive your first email on December 18 and receive 14 emails over the winter break.

Open to all members of the Lakehead community.

#Take10 #NoStigmaNovember #StopTheStigma

A Jack Talk and panel discussion designed for high school educators, school staff, and others who work with youth ages 13-25 across Canada.

In this webinar, we will be joined by Rick Ezekiel from Dalhousie University and Nadine de Gannes from Western University to discuss The Thriving Classrooms toolkit. This toolkit offers faculty and educators a range of practical resources to create classroom conditions that promote community, academic, career and personal resilience among students. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about the toolkit, see practical examples of how elements of the toolkit have been implemented at Ivey Business School and OISE (University of Toronto), and identify next steps in how they may use resources in the toolkit to help students thrive in their classrooms.
