Brock University Students’ Union will host Wellness Week, a chance for students to take a breather, and walk away from the stresses of university life. Wellness Week offers students activities and events, as well as access to resources to help maintain a healthy mental load in preparation for exam week.
“Post-secondary students deal with mental health concerns, and stress at a pivotal time in their academic career,” said BUSU Vice-President, Shinaya Peiris. “Providing students with engaging programming that relieves stress, and offers a chance to unwind, while having fun is what Wellness Week is about.”
This year, BUSU will host multiple events on campus. The goal is to provide students with the best experience possible, and during Wellness Week this means opportunities to de-stress, kick back and have some fun. Check out the list of events happening Nov. 4 to 7 for Wellness Week.
