We know that a healthy lifestyle, support, balance, and being part of a caring community are integral to positive mental health. Join Student Affairs and the Canadian Mental Health Association for three unique mental health workshops on stress management, community resources, and counselling. Stress Management Location: Student Affairs, Boardroom A Time: 11:30 am–12:30 pm This workshop helps individuals identify the main contributors to work/life stress, and learn coping strategies to achieve a sense of balance, satisfaction and success in their family and work lives. Presented by Reid Burke, Executive Director of Canadian Mental Health Association (PEI division) this workshop will also focus on community resources in support of mental health. Bringing Yoga off the Mat Location: Student Affairs, Boardroom A Time: 1:00–1:50 pm Did you ever wonder what people meant when they said that yoga has many benefits? Did you know that all of these benefits weren’t just physical? This workshop is geared to motivate others to bring the concepts applied in yoga class, off the mat and into their everyday lives. No previous yoga experience or a mat are required for this workshop. Counselling 101: What really happens behind closed doors Location: Student Affairs, Boardroom A Time: 2:30–3:30 pm What really happens in counselling? Is it for me? Will it help my friend? Counselling as a process seems to bring a lot of questions for people. This conversation based workshop, hosted by a counsellor with the Department of Student Affairs is intended for students, staff and faculty who have questions on counselling.
