Coping with the rigor of the engineering curriculum, navigating complex university systems, and adapting to a new environment can be exhausting! This session on self-care explores what it means to feel good and function well as an engineering student. Drawing on recent evidence from the study of psychology, you’ll be introduced to a cluster of activities that promote resiliency and prevent burn-out, so you can be at your best.
This session will be delivered in partnership with Dr. Diana Brecher from Ryerson Wellness
Dr. Brecher is a clinical psychologist who has been working at the counselling centre since 1991. She was the clinical director from 1994 – 2011.
