Wellness Wednesday

Please join us today for a midweek break and recharge with Wellness Wednesdays hosted by the Counseling, Disability and Health Services Department.

Today’s topic is “Depression” in recognition of October being Depression Education Awareness Month. This workshop aims to equip students with knowledge about the signs and symptoms of depression, the importance of mental health, and available resources for help. Although depression can be a tough topic to talk about, it is one that should be talked about openly and honestly in order to reduce stigma and empower individuals to seek assistance for themselves or their peers if needed. Ultimately this helps us create a more supportive campus environment. The following is a brief description of what to expect:

• Wellness Activities: engage in mindfulness activities, stress-relief exercises and creative fun
• Therapy Dogs: Enjoy some cuddle time with our favorite furry friends
• Wellness Resources: Pick up some educational material and free resources to help you stay informed and balanced
• Self-Care Giveaways: Snag some great self-care giveaways to help you unwind and relax

These workshops are a great way to take a healthy break from your busy schedules and connect with fellow students in a relaxed, supportive environment fostering a sense of community here at MCC. We hope to see you there!
