De-Stress before finals with some ‘play therapy’! Join B-healthy on the Peace Quad (Rain Location: UU 111) on Thursday, May 7th from 5pm-7pm for games, puzzles, and general de-stress tips. A visit from PAWS therapy dogs will be from 6-7pm!

Play is a fun, enjoyable activity that elevates our spirits and brightens our outlook on life. It expands self-expression, self-knowledge, self-actualization and self-efficacy. Play relieves feelings of stress and boredom, connects us to people in a positive way, stimulates creative thinking and exploration, regulates our emotions, and boosts our ego (Landreth, 2002). In addition, play allows us to practice skills and roles needed for survival. Learning and development are best fostered through play (Russ, 2004).

If you anticipate a need for disability-related accommodations or auxiliary aids to attend or participate, please get in touch with us at acammis2@binghamton.edu or bhealthy@binghamton.edu. We ask that you provide us with at least 3-5 days of advance notice regarding your equal access needs.
