News And Updates

The eSupport Group at University of Toronto
 
Beginning January 31, 2012, Health and Wellness in partnership with Accessibility Services will be running a 8 week support group for students with disordered eating.  This is an opportunity to attend a group to help connect with others, have an opportunity to express and identify feelings and to explore some of the underlying issues.  This is not a treatment or intervention group but rather an opportunity to meet others and share coping strategies that do not include food.
 
These meetings will be held weekly on Tuesday from 1-2:30 pm from January 31 to March 27, 2012 in the South Sitting Room at Hart House.  The group will be co-facilitated by Ellie Goldenberg and Janine Robb.
 
Please contact the Counselling and Psychological Services office for information on signing up for the eSupport group at http://www.caps.utoronto.ca/Services-Offered/WellnessEventsAndWorkshops.htm
The Peer Mentorship Program

Are you in your first year and registered with Accessibility Services? Do you feel you could benefit from meeting with an upper year student to hang out, talk about school and learn some study strategies? The Peer Mentorship Program is for you!

The Peer Mentorship Program is a program run by Accessibility Services that matches up first year students with upper year students to assist with the transition to their first year here at U of T (TYP and Academic Bridging students welcome!). Mentors and mentees meet once a week one on one for about an hour, but there are also monthly group events and weekly group drop-ins for program participants to attend as well. All events are free and are on the U of T St. George campus.

If you are interested in having a peer mentor or you have questions about the program, contact Adina Burden at adina.burden@utoronto.ca or (416)978-8062. To fill out the form to request a mentor, go to this link: http://www.accessibility.utoronto.ca/specialpgms/mentorintro/request.htm.  

We hope to see you soon!
