Brock University faculty and staff are invited to participate in a series of monthly seminars focused on health and well-being.

Offered by the Office of People and Culture (OPC) Health Management team, the series builds on the popularity of Brock’s annual employee Wellness Day.

“This series brings the concept of Wellness Day to life year-round through short, accessible learning opportunities. With that in mind, the series was developed also in recognition of the complex and demanding roles staff and faculty hold across the institution,” says Martina Ciglenecki, Manager of Health Management and Wellness.

Led by subject-matter experts from Brock and the wider Niagara community, each session will focus on a timely and relevant health or well-being topic and offer practical, evidence-informed information attendees can apply in the workplace and beyond. Seminars will be offered online or in person depending on the topic.

Ciglenecki says the series has been designed in a “lunch and learn” format that offers employees opportunities to learn while connecting with colleagues.

“Creating intentional space during the workday to engage in wellness learning and enjoyable self care opportunities supports not only individual health, but the long-term sustainability of our academic and professional community,” she says.

The series kicks off online at noon on Thursday, Jan. 22 with a discussion about maintaining healthy legs while standing or sitting for long periods of time. Upcoming topics include the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Push-Up Challenge and an introduction to AEDs.
