As part of its World Mental Health Day initiative, the Centre for Counselling and Health Services (CCHS) will be hosting two meaningful activities on campus on 10 October 2026. These activities are designed to promote mental well-being through creativity, reflection, and positive connection.

Zentangle & Unwind invites students and faculty to pause from their everyday routines and explore mindful creativity through patterns, lines, and artistic expression. The activity offers a relaxed and non-judgmental space to slow down, focus on the present moment, and reconnect with oneself.

Words That Lift is an interactive affirmation wall that encourages participants to share messages of kindness, encouragement, hope, appreciation, and support. Participants can write a message for themselves, a friend, or anyone who may need a little encouragement.

Through these activities, CCHS aims to make mental health awareness approachable and participatory while fostering a campus culture that values emotional well-being, empathy, connection, and supportive conversations around mental health.
