Brock University Students’ Union is set to 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.
“With nearly one in five postsecondary students experiencing mental health issues, Wellness Week is about recognizing and providing the support that students need in order to succeed, in an engaging and empowering environment that prioritizes student well-being,” said BUSU President, Fiona Seabrook.
This year, BUSU will host multiple events in various locations 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 win some amazing prizes.
