Blood Donation Clinic at Dalhousie

Hi everyone! Just sharing that there will be a mobile blood donation clinic coming to Dalhousie next week (October 12-14th). Hopefully this is more accessible for those in the South End who can't easily get to the Bayers Road Clinic. There are still lots of appointments available if anyone has some time to donate! You can sign up on the GiveBlood app or at this link: https://www.blood.ca/en

how have people's experience with dal welness' mental health services been?

hi, i saw that some variety of this question has been asked a few times but all the ones i saw that partained to what i want to ask specifically were quite a bit older. i went to dal wellness before and had a bit of an issue with them not taking me seriously and i ended up being pretty sick because they gave me the wrong medication. i have diagnosed anxiety, and with school starting up again its gotten a lot worse, worse than it usually is in the beginning of the year (im a third year). its to the point where im losing sleep and am constantly incredibly paranoid, to the point that ive had more than one person suggest that i may have OCD. i used to be on zoloft and hated it, how is dal wellness with things like diagnosis and prescribing new medication? has anyone ever had a problem w them not taking you seriously?

Insanely high price on DSU international student insurance

I've been at Dal for 2 years now. Last year I paid around $930 for the international student insurance plan. This year it cost me around $1330, over 43% increase. Considering the family plan, the total rose from around $2330 last year to $3550 now. Even with multiple grants this was painful.

Is this normal for Dalhousie, or for Canadian student insurance? I would expect a 3-10% yearly increase or similar due to inflation, but not this. We pay the same taxes and rent, and contribute to the same economy. What is the justification for this increase?

How are you, really? — A Men’s Peer Support Group

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You don’t need to be going through a crisis. And you certainly don’t need to have the “right” words.

Just come as you are.

How are you, really? is a relaxed, welcoming in-person peer support group for men in Halifax — a place to meet other men, have an honest conversation, listen, share a story, or simply enjoy a coffee and good company.

Open Book Coffee
3660 Strawberry Hill Street, Halifax
Every 1st, 2nd & 3rd Wednesday at 6.30pm
Free to attend

We talk about the things that are part of everyday life:

• Relationships and family
• Work, career and employment
• Money, housing and life pressures
• Parenting and children
• Big life changes and transitions
• Music, food, hobbies and the things that help us get through
• And whatever else is on your mind

There’s no agenda, no judgement and no pressure to speak. You can talk, listen, or simply sit with the group.

Whether you’ve been looking for a space like this for a while, or you’re simply curious and want to meet some new people — you’re welcome.

Sometimes a conversation over coffee can make a bigger difference than we expect.

Come along and meet us.

The group was recently featured by CBC: This support group asks men a simple question: How are you, really?

Free to attend. The only requirement is that you identify as male.
