"Wellness Wednesdays" at the USF Community Garden

Flyer reading "Wellness Wednesdays at the USF Community Garden. Needing a break from work and school? Looking for a way to unplug from devices and connect to nature? Come join us in the USF Community Garden for Wellness Wednesdays! Every Wednesday from 2-3PM, USF students are welcome to fcome visit the friendly confines of the USF Community Garden and recharge with a dose of Rx Nature. We hope to see you there :) (Contact CAPS for more information: 415 422 6352)

“Wellness Wednesdays” is a new collaboration with the USF Community Garden that intends to encourage students to engage in preventive wellness interventions  (e.g. mindfulness, exercise, rejuvenation via immersion in the natural world) and to not just rely on our traditional in-house therapy services as a means of managing mental health concerns. Every Wednesday, from 2-3PM, the USF Community Garden will be made available to all interested students who may benefit from such wellness experiences. There will be student garden representatives on hand to provide informal tours or activities such as brief meditation or more hands-on experiences like seed planting, harvesting, and cultivation. Students are welcome to participate in those activities or can just use the space to unplug or engage in quiet reflection. Interested students are free to drop by the garden anytime from 2-3PM on Wednesdays but can also contact CAPS directly (415 422 6352) to learn more about the opportunity.

Benefits of Workshops

  • Workshops provide an opportunity to realize you’re not alone—other students are there to get help dealing with similar issues.
  • Workshops can provide practical skills and knowledge to build your coping tools, insights about yourself, and perspectives.
  • CAPS' one-time workshops provide information and skills to deal with a variety of issues common to college students, such as stress, anxiety, relationships, and more.
  • CAPS' three-part Anxiety Toolbox workshop series gives participants the chance to practice what they learn in between each of three workshops. Each workshop builds on the last to enhance participants' learning experience.
