Maintaining good mental health and wellness during challenging times asks a lot of us, our colleagues and our families. It is natural to experience feelings of fear, worry, or uncertainty when facing circumstances that are beyond our control. It is also a time when we can develop a strong sense of connection and resiliency.
This page is designed to provide the School of Kinesiology in the Faculty of Education community with information, suggestions, and resources to assist in maintaining good mental health. Please know that there are resources in the Faculty and University to support you. Do reach out if and as needed.
