Online Wellness Resources Social Justice
Through this project, we hosted online workshops regarding themes of self-care and wellness (physical health, mental health). Participants who completed the workshops were eligible to receive care packages to help encourage their focus on mental and physical health moving forward. Additionally, extra materials were used for care packages for males in honour of maintaining awareness for men’s health.
