Exam season has come to a close and marking is well on its way to completion. It’s time to reflect on the semester and check in with your mental wellbeing. After a busy and productive term, when was the last time you did something for your mental health?
UFV Faculty of Health Sciences is excited to collaborate with the RCMP Pacific Region Training Centre during the Canadian Mental Health Association’s annual Mental Health Week from May 7 to May 11 on Canada Education Park in Chilliwack, BC. As part of the initiative, workshops, fitness classes, and information sessions will be offered on the Chilliwack campus.
