ZIQI’s Unwind Your Mind

Let’s turn Sunday into fun day and prepare for a new week with a bit of self-care! Join us in a safe, confidential space to check in on how your week/weekend is going, chat about anything on your mind and its effect on your mental wellbeing, and charge your batteries for a whole new week. We are looking forward to helping you!

Times are Eastern time (Toronto) – Join at 5:55pm. Meeting starts at 6:00pm sharp.
Please avoid being late as much as possible.

This meeting runs for approximately 1 hour.

Everyone has an opportunity to share & receive feedback if they wish.

If you wish to share…
(you don’t have to, being here is enough) …tell us what your wellness challenge is, and take about 5 minutes to tell us “How your Mental Wellness challenge has affected you recently”.

If you wish feedback…
…tell us if you wish other members to offer EMPATHY or a SUGGESTION (“When I was going through what you are, I did ‘x’ and it worked well”).

If you have to leave early…or turn off your video
…please let us know on the CHAT function, that way no one thinks you are disrespecting them as they share.
