Through presentations, audiovisuals, small group discussion and scenario practice, you will learn a 4-step TALK model and practical steps to help activate a suicide alert that connects people having thoughts of suicide with more specialized intervention care and relevant resources.

All participants will receive a learning booklet, resources and a Certificate of Completion.

Spin the wheel to see what situation arises and how you would react, would you give consent? Why or why not? This event is to raise awareness about consent and pose situations that you may not be aware of that require your consent - in relationships, and friendships and to see what makes a happy and healthy one. Also touching on what gaslighting is and how it can affect you in more ways than one.

Eating Disorders affect people of all genders, sexual orientations, ages, socioeconomic class, abilities, races, and ethnic backgrounds. That is why, from February 1st to 7th every year, Eating Disorder groups across Canada unite to commemorate Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW) with a national week of action focused on educating the public about Eating Disorders.

Join staff from the Student Health & Wellness to escalate awareness of the impact of Eating Disorders, the dangerous stereotypes and myths, and the supports available for people living with or affected by them.

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