Open to students, staff and faculty, the day-long event will feature workshops, demonstrations, musical and dance performances, and an exhibitors' fair featuring products and services that promote mental health and well-being.

The theme this year is Insoul: Supporting Your Soul One Step At A Time. Much like an insole for your shoe, the theme reminds us that making use of various supports can help you achieve a healthy body, mind and spirit.
