Being university students ourselves, we know at first-hand how stressful one’s life can become during school. It can sometimes feel like our lives are consumed with negativity. We decided to start The Positivity Project, in hopes of spreading positivity and mental health awareness!

We believe that everyone should make time to do things that allow them to de-stress and make them happy! During school this can seem almost impossible as our time is consumed by assignments, tests and papers. However, The Positivity Project has the hopes of changing this! We host monthly events centred around de-stressing and positive activities like baking, painting, watching movies, playing games, making new friends, and many more! In addition to this, we share a variety of positive posts through our Instagram page, including positive quotes, stories, and articles. We also share mental health resources with an aim to help break the stigma and promote the importance of mental well-being.

Ultimately, our mission is to help U of T students—who deal with a variety of daily stresses—to focus on the positive aspects of life. Our events are open to anyone who wants to bring some positivity into their lives or help spread it to others!
