To all fellow graduate students,
Partaking in graduate studies is in itself stressful enough, but the gravity of COVID 19 was something no one was expecting nor preparing for. In times like these, it is important to re-evaluate the condition of our mental health, and to utilize the support
that is available. Student Counselling will be hosting a virtual presentation on COVID 19 stress management on September 25 at 2 pm. In it, we should learn how to re-orient ourselves during this pandemic
and how to return to a healthy work/study/life balance. This is also a good opportunity to inquire of other services Student Counselling offers, as we all have different backgrounds and situations.
I hope everyone understands the value of this, and I kindly urge you all to attend. See below for more details on the presentation. To register, e-mail David Ness to get the invitation link. Hope to see you all there,
James
