Mental health professionals sometimes prescribe mindfulness for stress management. And for some companies, it’s big business. Jeff Wilson, a professor at Renison University College and a member of the Religious Studies department in the Waterloo Faculty of Arts, discusses the changing face of mindfulness as well as its benefits. Waterloo holds a series of events to build a culture of wellbeing. The University participates in Treaties Recognition Week. UW Fitness launches a remote workout series. And the president provides an update on University business in his latest President’s Virtual Town Hall.
