Loving Kindness Meditation with Student Health and Wellness
LKM is a meditation that focuses on being kind and loving to self first and foremost. We can extend it to being kind and loving to others as well, and the individuals themselves get to decide who they extend it to and if they wish to, but mostly it is about loving the self.

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.

Today, we find ourselves feeling discouraged with uncertainty in many aspects of our lives. We have developed new routines, taken on new roles, redefined expectations and boundaries, while still trying to manage the emotional pressures of our “new” norm.  In our current situation, with increasingly demanding work and learning from home environments and without balance between self and others, stress can deplete your energy, optimism, efficiency, health, and joy – leading to burnout and mental health challenges.

With the right tools and some practical and effective self-care skills, you have the power to greatly decrease the negative effects of stress and increase personal health, happiness, and well-being. This interactive workshop will provide simple tips, practices, and ideas on how to support your own wellbeing and ways to keep yourself and others empowered, nourished, and supported.
