The Student Counselling Centre presents the Midweek Mindfulness Hour in room 240 of the CAW Student Centre every Wednesday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. This offers students a space to disconnect for an hour each week to participate in a mindfulness activity.

Mindfulness and meditation practices are a good way to relieve stress and focus on what is happening in the moment, says group therapy co-ordinator Brianna Valenzuela.

“Our hope is that students take the skills they learn and apply it in their everyday lives to manage their stress levels during busy semesters,” she says.

Each week will feature different mindfulness and meditation activities.

Students are welcome to sign up for all sessions or choose those of most interest to them. Register through the Student Counselling Centre in the student centre’s room, email scc@uwindsor.ca, or phone 519-255-3000, ext. 4616.
