Thrive Week 2024 - Employees Thrived!
For the 5th year, Lakehead University celebrated Thrive Week, from January 22 to 26, by hosting a week-long series of events helping all members of our community to explore their pathways to better mental health, well-being and resilience.
It was our biggest Thrive Week yet, and it really felt like a campus initiative with so many Lakehead departments, LUSU and student groups taking part.
Check out some #EmployeesThrive highlights from Thrive Week 2024 below:
Thrive Week Challenge Card Winner |

Thrive Week 2024 aimed to increase mental health literacy, build healthy habits and self-care skills, and help foster a community of wellness at Lakehead University. We challenged Lakehead employees to Thrive at Your Own Pace by completing different healthy habits throughout the week. Congratulations to Vanessa Nichols (Project Coordinator with EPID@Work Research Institute) for having their card randomly drawn from the employee submissions. She won a basket of self-care items sponsered by LU Human Resources. |
Digital Wall of Champions | |
As part of Thrive Week 2024 we asked employees to share a positive message or story about a colleague who makes a difference in our Lakehead community.

Thrive is an initiative that began at UBC as a conversation between colleagues about the importance of reducing the stigma associated with mental health. It has since grown into a movement celebrated at campuses across Canada, providing opportunities for important conversations about mental health to take place.
Thank you all for taking part and supporting Thrive Week!!!
