Summer is almost here and FemPhys has some awesome events in store for you
this month!


*Healthy Interdependence: Making Friends*

*Location:* Dana Porter Library, 3rd floor - Learning Lab

*Date and Time:* June 12th from 12:00-1:30 pm
*Event Page <https://www.facebook.com/events/847991602206108/>*

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. You
can contact the event facilitator at disabilityallianceUW at gmail.com with
any questions or if you are apprehensive about attending.

*Anti-Competitiveness Workshop*

*Stay tuned on our social media for the event location!  *

*Date: *June 21st from 12:00-1:00 pm


Academic culture is not perfect, and behaviours that are harmful to work-
life balance and mental health are prevalent. Join us for a facilitated
discussion on toxic behaviours and beliefs in academia and how to improve
our community and the attitudes we and others hold.

There will be tea and snacks!

*Healthy Interdependence: Leaning on Others*

*Location:* Dana Porter Library, 3rd floor - Learning Lab

*Date and Time: *June 27th from 12:00-1:30 pm

*Event Page <https://www.facebook.com/events/847991602206108/>*


Come out for the second Healthy Interdependence workshop. In mutually
supportive friendships, asking for and receiving help is just as important
as offering and providing help. In this workshop, we will discuss how to be
better support recipients.


Snacks and tea will be provided!
