March was a challenging month for the students. During the period of class suspension, they were busy with online classes at home while adjusting to long distance learning. To help students take a break, our college social worker, Shasta Leong organized a series of creative online workshops in collaboration with other college social workers every Wednesday at 3:00pm in March. It attracted a lot of students to participate. In the “Healing Time - Coffee and Story” workshop, the social workers shared the art of pour-over coffee and story book while enjoying the slow pace of life. In the “Relaxing Time - Encountered with Aromatherapy” workshop, the social worker shared the therapeutic and relaxing effect of different essential oils and demonstrated simple self- massage that students can do to themselves to release stress and sooth emotions. In the “Joyful Time - Music Entertainment” workshop, the social workers shared music with the students and enjoyed the simple happiness brought by the songs, rhythms and musical instruments. In the “Peaceful Time - Gardening World” workshop, the social workers shared basic home gardening knowledge and demonstrated how to take care of small plant, creating a moment for the students to feel the inner peace during the process. As taking a break is very important for our mental health during this anti-epidemic period, this series of workshops held by the social workers served as timely service for the students.
