Hi everyone, thanks for being patient with us as we figure out the best way to utilize technology for our groups. All Kaleidoscope Mental Health Support Society support group times (General, PUG, SHARE) and access details will be posted on our online schedule. The link will also be posted on our “Support Group Schedule” page.

Hi everyone, in response to COVID-19 we are moving our groups online for the forseeable future.

We will be using Zoom, and the meeting invitation will be posted the day of the meeting. To prepare for connecting with us online, please download Zoom on your device (phone, tablet, laptop etc). You can find the link here: https://us04web.zoom.us/join. Registration is not necessary.

Hi all,

Due to popular demand, we are adding an additional group at UBC. Starting next week (Monday, September 19th), we will host an evening group from 6-7pm in Buchanan Building Block B Room 319. There will be yummy sushi waiting for you 🙂

As well, to accommodate students coming straight from class to Thursday’s group, we pushed forward our start time by 15 minutes. That means the meeting is now from 12:45-1:45pm. As always, there will be pizza 🙂

Hi everyone!

UBC will soon be conducting a review of Policy 73, the policy for accommodations for students with disabilities (the full policy can be found here: http://universitycounsel.ubc.ca/files/2010/08/policy73.pdf). The AMS VP Academic’s Office, in anticipation of this review, would like more information on the experiences of students with disabilities at UBC, and how mental health concerns/mental illness might be better incorporated into the policy.

You are invited to participate in a one-on-one or a group focus group on your experiences, or to fill out a survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3BC3LFK. Contact Anne Kessler at [email protected] if you are interested in a one-on-one or focus group, or have any questions, concerns or needs for this survey. If you require assistance in filling out this survey, it can be provided.

Feel free to share this information with others!
