Healthy Interdependence: Making Friends
Location: Dana Porter Library, 3rd floor - Learning Lab
Date and Time: June 12th from 12:00-1:30 pm
Research shows that people who are more socially integrated and who experience more supportive and rewarding relationships with others have better mental health, higher levels of subjective well-being, and lower rates of morbidity and mortality. At the same time, 73% of UW students said they "Felt very lonely" within the past 12 months, with almost half of those saying they had felt very lonely in the past 2 weeks (2016 NCHA-II University of Waterloo).Join us for a workshop on how to develop and enhance mutually supportive relationships, and how to build inclusive communities and support those around us. This guide to initiating and deepening connections is for those who don’t even know where to start. Neurodiversity welcome!Snacks and tea will be provided!This event will strive to be socially accessible, meaning that social missteps will be tolerated and any unspoken rules will be explained.
