Workshops for students
Managing your time, staying safer at parties, setting goals and learning about mental health—these are just a few of the topics covered in our workshops. Workshops are hosted by counsellors and peer health educators at Wellness and Pyschological Services. As well as participating in guided workshops, you have the option of watching recorded workshops or taking self-paced modules.
Many of our workshops have been recorded and are available for you anytime and from anywhere. Choose from sessions on reducing stress, good sleep habits, the roles music and movies play in helping you maintain a balanced perspective and many more.
