Do you find yourself overwhelmed—managing distressing news from back home, heavy workloads, and the weight of students confiding in you all at once —alongside academic work!?

Well, help us share the load! Come to CUPE 3913’s interactive session created by and for union members (and those that care for them) to learn how to navigate the anxieties of grad life. We’ll name what’s stressing you out, share what helps, and collectively map campus and community support resources to help fuel your mind, body, and heart.

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
