The Wellness Education Centre is hosting virtual Mood Moves every Wednesday for students and employees. Join us for a quick stretching and movement session at your own comfort level!

Equity and inclusion are intrinsically connected with wellness. Equitable and inclusive workplaces support employee well-being by increasing professional achievement, job satisfaction, and better mental and physical health outcomes. Similarly, a workplace that focuses on well-being also has a documented effect of decreasing prejudice, discrimination, and harassment.
