Paws & Pause: Puppy Therapy

Take a well deserved break and join the ACMAPS & BE YU teams for a relaxing and uplifting Puppy Therapy session designed specifically for students during well-being week. This welcoming event offers a chance to unwind, connect with others, and enjoy the comfort of spending time with friendly, playful pups. Animal assisted activities have been shown to reduce anxiety, ease feelings of loneliness, boost motivation, and provide emotional comfort. Whether you’re balancing academics, parenting, or both, this is a wonderful opportunity to de stress in a supportive environment. Children are welcome to attend with their student parent. Come meet some adorable four legged friends and give yourself a moment of calm—you deserve it.

Organized by Atkinson Centre for Mature and Part-Time Students (ACMAPS) Team & The Black Excellence Program (BE YU Team).
