From surviving to thriving: Graduate student workshop

November 4-8 is Thrive week! Join Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs for a workshop focused on building resiliency.

About this Event

We all juggle personal, family, social, financial, and academic and/or work demands. Most of us do pretty well, but any of us could be blindsided by an unexpected crisis or overwhelmed when too many stressors coincide.

During the Surviving to Thriving workshop, you will identify your stressors and how you respond to them. You will also learn to examine the choices you make when faced with a difficult situation. The strategies you learn will help you build resilience and the skills to get through challenges more successfully.

Facilitator: Sarah Howard, Graduate Student Experience Specialist, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs

Additional details: Registration is required and refreshments will be provided.

Surviving to Thriving, and the workplace edition Plan for Resilience, were developed by the Great West Life Centre for Mental Health in the Workplace.

What is Thrive week?

Thrive is a series of events focused on building positive mental health for University of Waterloo students, faculty, and staff. Thrive is also a mindset that encourages you to flourish. We all have mental health, and we can each strengthen our mental health by learning about it, thinking about it, talking about it, and discovering new skills and resources to help us Thrive all year long.
