About Thrive
Thrive is a week long series of free events to build positive mental health on campus run by the Student Wellness Centre. The Wellness Centre works with partners across the university to bring students a week of workshops, social events, giveaways and more, all dedicated to supporting your mental health.
Thrive runs every Fall and Winter term on both the Waterloo and Brantford campuses. Laurier Human Resources also coordinates Thrive activities for faculty and staff.
Laurier Recreation hosts free group exercises classes and climbing wall sessions as well as a drop in make your own trail mix, gratitude walls and more to create a supportive environment to help you THRIVE. Laurier Recreation is here to help you see the benefits that physical activity, movement and fueling your body can have on your overall wellbeing.
