Semesters ebb and flow with deadlines, work, and day-to-day responsibilities, says Brianna Valenzuela, group therapy co-ordinator in the Student Counselling Centre, which is why it’s important for students to prioritize their mental health and self-care.

“We want students to be able to continue applying themselves and reaching their goals,” she says. “The Group Wellness Hub is their go-to resource for group-based mental health support, offering a wide range of confidential wellness groups tailored to student needs.”

She says the hub, located in the CAW Student Centre’s Room 240, creates a supportive environment providing students with skills to build resilience and powerful tools to create change.

“As the new year approaches, the Group Wellness Hub invites students to start 2025 with intention and connection, fostering personal growth and well-being,” says Valenzuela. “Start planning your winter academic schedule by visiting our website to find a group that fits your needs.”

She invites anyone with questions or needing help to decide which group is the right fit for you to email her at bvale@uwindsor.ca.
