Stress is pretty much unavoidable but how you handle it can make all the difference.

To help guide the ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s community along a healthy path, Human Resources (HR) is offering a week of wellness to remind staff, faculty, and students about the importance of self-care.

Thrive Week, which takes place Oct. 30 to Nov. 3, will feature a number of events that focus on building positive mental health among members of the ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s community. The organizers draw on a number of resources from both ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s and the Kingston community to offer programming.

Thrive Week is about reaching out to all of the members of the ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s community and getting them to think more about the skills and resources they require to ‘thrive’ throughout the year.  

Thrive focuses on offering a variety of key events each day that align with the Thrive pillars: nutrition, physical fitness, sleep, stress, and stigma. The goal of this initiative is to increase education and communication on the topic of positive mental health and what it means to the ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s Community.

Some events that will be featured include:

• Kick-off Event– Free hot chocolate and apples
• ‘Take a Paws’ with the Therapy Dogs of Canada
• Haunted Walk of Kingston
• Free Massages

Following the kick-off event (Oct. 30, 8-10 am), where free hot chocolate and apples will be handed out at the corner of University Avenue and Union Street, there is a wide range of events including, yoga, colouring workshops, healthy sleep habits and more.
