What is THRIVE Week?

• THRIVE is a week-long series of events for the entire VIU community focused on building positive mental health.

• THRIVE is a way of thinking and acting that promotes positive mental wellbeing and resilience.

• THRIVE is an opportunity to join others on campus to create the conditions that support positive mental well-being for our campus community.

What kind of activities fit into THRIVE week?

These can be events you are already planning that have the benefit of promoting positive mental health and are cross-promoted during THRIVE week.

• Set up a booth, host a workshop, lecture, social or active session - it’s up to you!
