Description

CAPS presents the second "North Campus Do Something and Play Day" in an effort to engage with students in an interactive and fun way while providing information on mental health wellness and well-being.

Last semester's event was an overwhelming success. Approximately 800-1000 students stopped by for pizza, pet the therapy dog, learn to juggle, jump rope, create a craft, fold origami, toss bean bags and relax with a free massage. Students were shown the importance of taking a break and ways in which they can help themselves or a friend with CAPS resources such as MiTalk (interactive mental health website), the Wellness Zone (CAPS's mental health wellness center), CAPS's wide array of therapy groups and Common Concerns drop-in workshops.
