Hi all, Please see email from James below regarding a virtual presentation that will be held next Friday (September 25th). The presentation is titled Doing Well During Stressful Times and will be given by the director of the Student Counselling Centre, David Ness. In order to register and receive the presentation link, email David at David.Ness(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:David.Ness@umanitoba.ca>. See you there! Bethany Begin forwarded message: From: James De Castro <decastr4(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:decastr4@myumanitoba.ca>> Subject: Student Counselling Presentation Date: September 14, 2020 at 9:46:07 AM CDT To: Bethany Asmundson <asmundsb(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:asmundsb@myumanitoba.ca>> 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 Title: Doing Well During Stressful Times Description: Graduate studies is usually a stressful pursuit; graduate studies during the COVID-19 pandemic may be even more stressful.
