Dear UBC School of Nursing Students,

We are excited to announce the launch of Thrive Month this November! It’s a month-long celebration of wellness, with weekly themes, fun activities, and amazing prizes. Each week will highlight a different aspect of well-being, and we invite you to participate in as many events as possible!

Here’s what’s in store for you during Thrive Month:
Week 1: Move More & Enjoy Autumn (Nov 4th – 8th)
Get moving! Track your steps, share your progress, and embrace the beauty of fall by taking and sharing your best autumn photos.

Week 2: Sleep & Eat Well (Nov 11th – 15th)
Prioritize sleep and nutrition. We’ll provide easy, healthy snack recipes and share effective sleep strategies to help you feel your best.

Week 3: Help the Planet Thrive (Nov 18th – 22nd)
Learn about thriving plants and how they contribute to a healthier environment. Host a baby plant to help combat global warming by adding greenery around you.

Week 4: Give Back & Thrive Together (Nov 25th – 29th)
Spread positivity! Write and share “Thrive Notes” with your fellow students and post them on the Thrive Board. Let’s come together to create a stronger, supportive community!

Wellness Corner:
Throughout November, visit the Wellness Corner near the Student Service Center for relaxing massages and special wellness treats. It’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge!

Weekly Contests & Prizes:
There will be exciting contests and prizes every week, so stay tuned for details on how to participate and win!

Thrive Month is a wonderful opportunity to focus on your health, connect with your peers, and have some fun. We encourage everyone to get involved and make the most of this month of wellness and positivity!
