Pause with Paws (100819)

On October 8th, 2019 the University of Houston SNPhA Mental Health Initiative hosted a de-stress event called Pause for Paws. In the midst of exam chaos and studying, students and faculty were able to take a breather and interact with dogs and listen to music as a way to take their mind off the busy week. There was also an interactive booth where students could write something they were grateful for. As shown in a Harvard study, expressing gratitude is a good way to cultivate happiness and ease your mind. This was a great event to host during Mental Illness Awareness Week! #mentalhealthmatters #whatyoudontsee #SNPhA #SNPhARegion4 #Region4WeServeMore #SNPhA2020Vision #UHSNPHA #PassionThroughAction
