You are worthy. 

I see you. I appreciate you. 

I’m grateful for my daughters.

I’m grateful for my dog.

If you need a small boost this week, Thrive Week organizers have got what you need.

Whether you’re on campus or on a screen elsewhere, help yourself to a quick serving of positivity with a visit to the Kind Thoughts Box at the Peter George Centre for Living and Learning, or to the digital gratitude wall.  

Take a kind thought, leave a kind thought. The Kind Thoughts Box is in PGCLL

The Kind Thoughts Box follows a “take one, leave one” system, so feel free to drop in a note with a positive message for someone else as you take one from the box. (Because it’s in person, please be sure to adhere to the guidelines for being on campus.)

If you’re not on campus, you can still join in: Share something (or someone) you’re grateful for on the digital gratitude wall, or just take a minute to see what others are thankful for.

The two initiatives are part of a larger Thrive Week campaign, aimed at fostering well-being and helping students, faculty and staff learn about, talk about, and explore ways to support mental health as individuals and a community.

Thrive Week is also a reminder that conversations around mental health need to continue year-round.

Resources, programs, research and educational opportunities in health and well-being for McMaster community members are always available through the McMaster Okanagan CommitteeStudent Wellness Centre and Human Resources Services.
