About Thriving and Learning in Action

Thriving & Learning in Action is based on the successful Thriving in Action (TiA) program developed by Dr. Diana Brecher and Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer at Toronto Metropolitain University. 

Through a collaboration between Campus Wellness & Support Services and the Student Success Centre, TiA has been adapted for our students at Concordia through Thriving & Learning in Action. 

Thriving and Learning in Action is a program like no other - it brings mental health, wellbeing, equity, and learning strategies together in a unique intervention that will help students feel more hopeful, resilient, and successful. Combining elements of positive psychology (e.g. building motivation, optimism, resilience, grit) and learning strategies (e.g. time management, effective studying and note taking), TiA aims to provide students with skills to help them thrive, academically and personally. 

Thriving & Learning in Action will be offered as a flexible 5-part series, where students will learn new ways, approaches, and skills to build motivation, optimism, and resilience, along with learning strategy essentials like time management and effective studying. 

These thriving and learning skills will help you to manage your stress, reduce procrastination, and become a successful learner.
