2 Survey: 58% of Canadian students said they suffered from overwhelming anxiety. (ACHA, 2013)
3 The age group has been diagnosed with depression or anxiety disorder more than any other age group. (APA, 2015)
4
5 Impetus for action at UCalgary the Brentwood Stabbings Five Calgary university and college students were killed on the last day of classes at the University of Calgary in 2014
6 UCalgary s focus on mental health issues As a result, the administration, the Student Union and other faculties/units developed services/programs focusing on personal well-being and enhancing campus socialization UCalgary s 2015 mental health strategy has six strategic focus areas: Raising awareness and promoting well-being* Developing personal resilience and self-management Enhancing early identification and response Providing direct service and support Aligning institutional policies, processes, and procedures Creating and sustaining a supportive campus environment* *The libraries activities fall within these two areas, namely providing activities that enhance personal well-being and creating conditions for meaningful interactions by the campus community. 6
7 Impact of Play Play energizes us and enlivens us. (Brown, 2010) a little bit of nonproductive activity can make one enormously more productive (Brown, 2010) unstructured play can relieve stress, boost creativity, improve brain function (Keller, 2015) It opens us up to new possibilities and teaches us to be adaptable. We seek out a variety of new contingencies through play, allowing us to thrive anywhere in the world. (Brown, 2010)
8 Physical, emotional and psychological effects Reduces stress Play reduces stress hormones in the bloodstream (Lloyd, 2009) Colouring relaxes us as it lowers the activity of the amygdala, a basic part of our brain involved in controlling emotion that is affected by stress. (Santos, 2014) Colouring mandalas elicits a relaxing mindset, similar to what you would achieve through meditation we started seeing changes in heart rate, changes in brainwaves (Dovey, 2015) Colouring pre-drawn patterns useful as a stress reduction technique for university students (Drake 2014)
9 Enhanced cognition amount of play is correlated to the development of the brain s frontal cortex responsible for much of what we call cognition: discriminating relevant from irrelevant information, monitoring and organizing our own thoughts and feelings (Brown, 2010) Play impacts the rate and size of growth of the cerebellum. [T]he cerebellum is responsible for key cognitive functions such as attention, language processing, sensing musical rhythm, and more (Brown, 2010) Puzzles release dopamine in your brain in response to even small successes, resulting in a positive mood, better concentration and improved memory. (Carey, 2010; Bergland, 2011)
