The AC Purple Couch
Feb 08, 2022 |10:30am-12:00pm
The AC Purple Couch is back this week to help support your mental health and provide useful resources. On February 8, join us as we draw and chat about mental wellness.
Join a fellow student, from the Drawing Foundations program, on a mystical journey to learn how to draw and decorate your own fairy! She will teach you how to draw the fairy base then guide you on how to decorate and accessorize your fairy until it’s a creation you can be proud of! All you need is a device with zoom downloaded, drawing utensils (lead pencils, coloured pencils, pens, markers, etc.), and paper! Getting ready to have a fairy good time!
The AC Purple Couch™ is a promotional event that runs twice a month by the Health Services team. It focuses on spreading the word about mental health, sharing mental health resources, and inviting students to come and share what’s on their mind.
For students without basic art materials, you may request an art kit that includes a small sketchbook and one pack of coloured and lead pencils. Participants must register by January 26 to receive the art kit that will be shipped to you by the event date. Please note, participants must live in Canada to receive the materials.
We look forward to meeting you!
