Counselling Services is excited to announce that they will be running a virtual mindfulness group this winter 2022 semester called The Mindful Way. This will be a nine-week closed group with a maximum of 12 participants. The group involves a combination of psycho-education, mindfulness skills and experiential learning.

The closed group starts on Thursday, February 3 and will run for nine weeks every Thursday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Zoom.

All of the information, dates and topics, is on the poster attached.

Important information before referring:

  • This is a nine-week closed group. Students are expected to attend all sessions. Please view attached poster.

  • Students can contact Rose Anthoy at rose.anthony@humber.ca for further information.

We are excited to share details of the 2021-2022 Support Staff Professional Development (SSPD) week that focuses on Support Staff’s professional development and other engaging activities. This year will mark our 32nd year celebrating a Support Staff development event. 

This year, all sessions will be delivered online over the course of five days from Monday, February 28 to Friday, March 4.

Our Support Staff are vitally important in helping us deliver on our programs and services to students and employees. This year’s Professional Development Event is themed to focus on taking care of our Support Staff while they take care of us and therefore will emphasize topics such as work-life balance and well-being, resilience, personal growth, and resolving conflict.  We have arranged nine speakers that will deliver on these topics.  

Registration for the sessions is open to all support staff employees (full-time, part-time, casual, temporary) to participate in. 

Please visit the Support Staff Professional Development Event website to view and register for the sessions.
