There often comes a time within the school year when it can be difficult to catch up, when the to-do list gets too long. Falling behind on due dates can lead to negative mental health consequences. Let’s get ahead of the stress and anxiety of busy times and talk about the benefits of time management! For this webinar, a Peer Wellness Educator will walk through what time management is, why it is important for your mental health and what are some time management skills that you can try out.

Addiction, Harm Reduction, and Recovery Strategies

Presenters: Cam and PK
Are you worried about substance use or pleasure-seeking behaviours in yourself or those close to you? The concept of addiction is often misunderstood and can carry some stigma. Join the Peer Wellness Educators for this Tune In Tuesday, which looks critically and compassionately at how society views people with addiction issues. Rooted by harm reduction principles, the Peers will explore the history and neuroscience of addiction and the impact of trauma and social isolation on recovery. They will also share practical strategies for students to engage in self-regulation and recovery.
Registration for this event will open soon.
