This summer’s ES Wellness Afternoon will take place on Wednesday, August 18.

Please watch for a save-the-date invite coming from the es.hrle@ubc.ca inbox, which is the new email address to use if you need to contact Ashley and Coby together, or Manpreet Virdi.

Share your ideas or volunteer to host a session

Like last year, we will be holding a joint UBC O & V event that will take place virtually. We are looking to you for new and encore session ideas.

If you would like to host a session, or have an idea, please get in touch with us. Formal planning will get underway in June, so get your ideas in soon!

What is ES Wellness Afternoon?

Is this your first year in ES? If so, you are probably wondering what ES Wellness Afternoon is all about. Use the search box on this blog and type in Wellness Afternoon. You’ll find lots of photos and descriptions of the activities we’ve planned over the past seven years. Or, ask ask a seasoned veteran colleague, and they can tell you all about it!

We have exciting news to share!

We have received, $2500 in funding from the HR Healthy Workplace Initiative Program to hold a second Wellness Afternoon event in late fall. That event will have a focus on supporting mental health and our transition back to working on campus. More details will be shared in the fall, but in the meantime, if you have any ideas for that event, send them our way.
