RRU\u2019s <\/span>Diversity Action Group<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Counselling & Learning Strategy Team<\/span><\/a> invite all staff, faculty and students to wear purple on Tuesday October 11th<\/strong> in acknowledgment of <\/span>World Mental Health Day<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Light Up Purple<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme, \u201cMake mental health & well-being for all a global priority\u201d, focuses a global campaign on improving access to mental health services in an increasingly uncertain and polarized world. Global challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic, war, displacement, the climate crisis, and a range of economic challenges, have exacerbated mental health issues, and often limited access to resources and support. <\/span><\/p>\n

To promote wellbeing, RRU\u2019s Counselling & Learning Strategy Team is offering a <\/span>Building Resilience & Managing Stress<\/span><\/a> workshop on Wednesday Oct 5th, 11am-12pm<\/strong>,\u00a0open to\u00a0all RRU students. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The recent addition of two new practicum Counsellors, Carrie Everett & Isaac Dellabough, has increased the team\u2019s capacity to support students, reduced wait times, and is enriching the counselling team\u2019s skills. <\/span>Meet the team<\/span><\/a> to learn more about our counsellors and how they can support your wellbeing and learning success.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

October 11th also marks the 33rd National Coming Out Day<\/a>, marking another important occasion to promote wellbeing, acceptance and safety in our community. To learn more, please visit the National Coming Out Day Crossroads post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
