The Student Wellness Education and Promotion Centre will be offering a virtual lunchtime walking group on a drop-in basis through the summer. 

Every time people interact, there is an opportunity to build or damage a relationship. Improving the quality of relationships in the workplace can enhance productivity and reduce conflict. This session will review three key tools that can build relationships, will provide coaching on how to use these tools effectively, and will assist participants in developing strategies to address relationship challenges.

Values to refer to activities that give our lives meaning. Values are not goals in that we never “accomplish” a value. Instead, values are like a compass–they help us make choices based on the directions in which we want our lives to go. When we align our values with our goals and behaviours we work towards achieving wellness.  Join this interactive workshop that is rooted in the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to increase self-awareness of our values, understand the impact our values have on our wellness, and how our values guide our decisions.
