Employee Well-being Events (virtual and in-person) | Engineering Wellness Program

Upcoming Well-being Events

We want you to be well and thrive in the Faculty of Engineering. FoE Community Well-being offers a variety of in-person and synchronous virtual sessions to support our community. For those who prefer asynchronous resources, we also have information on well-being related websites, research, and on-demand or self-directed sessions. Topics are timely and chosen in response to staff & faculty needs and requests.

If you are interested in a specific topic and don't see it below, please contact the Community Well-being Team. If we cannot provide a synchronous session in a timely fashion, we will do our best to source resources and community options for you.

Additional Programming

Robotic Therapy Pets: Need some puppy (or kitty) time? The Robotic Therapy Pet Program is up and running. Research has shown that interacting with robotic pets has a similar soothing effect on the nervous system as interacting with a live animal. Pets are available for sign-out from the Undergraduate Office (E2- 1772) or the Cambridge campus library. You can also check out the pets at our various upcoming events.

Shear Strength: Do you enjoy starting your week with inspiration and great ideas? Then register for Shear Strength. Every Monday, an inspirational quote and helpful well-being tip will arrive in your email inbox.

Sunshine lamps: Dark getting you down? Sunshine Lamps are available for sign-out on a three-day loan from the Undergraduate Office (E2- 1772) or the Cambridge Campus Library. Light therapy has been shown to reduce symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and winter blues by 35% or more. It is the primary approach to treating seasonal related mood concerns.
