Student AffairsPE-Q is a 4 to 6 weeks program for students with mild-to-moderate symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. It is designed for students who are not currently physically active to help them gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to start exercising on their own to help improve their mental health.
This referral-only program is a collaboration between Student Wellness Services (SWS) and Athletics & Recreation (A&R) made possible thanks to donor funding.
