This Mental Health Awareness Week, let's lift each other up with the power of words!

Our Peer Counselors are kicking off a heartwarming activity where selected friend groups will be randomly tapped to take part in a simple but meaningful mission:
Write down the positive traits you see in your friends, on a paper placed on their back.

At the end, the notes of affirmation will be handed to each person, giving them a boost of love and positivity!

Let’s spread kindness, one word at a time.
Because here at QCU, we’ve always got each other’s backs.

𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘴, 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨! ✨

In collaboration with 𝐐𝐂𝐔 𝐏𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, the Guidance and Counseling Unit will be spreading warmth and positivity through 𝑨𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒔. These are little reminders that you matter, your feelings are valid, and you are never alone.

Our Peer Counselors will be roaming around all three campuses, sharing these pockets of positivity to brighten your day and lift your spirit!

Together, let’s create a supportive and compassionate community!
