The Refresh Sleep program aims to provide Lakehead students, staff and faculty with the skills and strategies to achieve more restful nights.

Make STI testing a routine part of your health care. 

Book a test at Student Health and Wellness during the month of February and get a Free Persian! 

By appointment only. Call 807-343-8361 to book. 

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.

Grad students welcome.

Registration required, session delivered via zoom.

Join the conversation by sharing your mental health message, picking up some Bell Let's talk swag and taking time to connect with fellow Thunderwolves.

Information will also be available about the mental health supports available to the Lakehead Community.

Sign up as a team and put your Grey-Sloan Memorial knowledge to the test. Prize available to the winning team!

Join instructor Ameena for some candlelit flow followed by a guided meditation. Some mats and props are available but bring your own if you have them. 

Registration is required, and spaces are limited.

Did you know that nearly 80% of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions by February? If you’re like most of us and struggling to keep up, or simply in need of a reset, don't fret; join staff from the Student Health & Wellness outside the Main Cafeteria January 18th between 10:30am and 12:30pm where we’ll be reviewing SMART Goal Settings to see how physical activity into can be incorporated into your life.

Pro tip - SMART Goals don't have to be specific to just Physical Activity!

It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.
