Cyclone Support: Join us for Wellness Wednesdays at Parks

With a focus on student mental health, Wellness Wednesdays will be offered in Parks Library from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Nov. 15 and 29 in Room 140, on the first floor, north of the Learning Connections Center.

Mental health should be a daily priority, and more so as we head into prep and finals weeks. Wellness Wednesdays will make it easy for members of the campus community, as the activities will be programmed in advance. All you have to do is make your way to Parks Library and engage. This space will allow students to focus on their mental health through various uplifting activities that may include:

• Play and create with Legos, coloring books, and puzzles.
• Practice mindfulness with meditation, reflections, gratitude journaling, and goal setting.
• Physically relax with yoga, light therapy, breathing exercises, audio experiences, and aroma therapy.
