Student Notices

The Counselling and Psychological Service (CAPS) invites students to participate in three activities in recognition of October Mental Health Month, offering opportunities to improve focus, practise mindfulness and build meaningful social connections.

Body Doubling

Have something you've been meaning to get done but find it difficult to get started or stay focused?

Sometimes, simply having another person nearby can help. Discover how body doubling works, experience it firsthand and learn how this approach can support your productivity and focus.
