Recovery College: YU & Balance Week 1 | Self-care: Making time for your basic needs

This session will be offered in person at York University’s Markham Campus and is open to students from all York University campuses.

In this week’s session of YU & Balance, we will focus on building realistic self-care and time management habits that fit into student life.

Students will reflect on questions such as:

  • What motivates me to take care of myself?
  • What tends to get in the way of self-care?
  • How can I make time for myself when life gets busy?

Through discussion and reflection, students will explore ways to prioritize their well-being, build self-care into their routines and practice affirmations that support confidence and motivation.

This session is part of a 6-week Recovery College series. For each session attended, participants will receive $5 on their YU-card. To receive the gift card, you must attend the full session (approximately 45–60 minutes). Unfortunately, we’re not able to provide gift cards for partial attendance. Gift cards will be emailed after the session to the same email address used to register and join the session.

Space is limited, and registration is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If the session is full and you’d like to be added to the waitlist, please email hstacey@yorku.ca. We’ll reach out if a spot becomes available. If you’re registered but can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as you can so we can offer your spot to another student.
