Perspectives on Implementing The Thriving in Action Program in Campus Settings
June 25 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Join The Best Practices Network for two webinars spotlighting Toronto Metropolitan University’s (TMU) Thriving in Action (TiA) program.
TiA was developed by Dr. Diana Brecher (Clinical Psychologist) and Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer (PhD) and has been peer-reviewed and rated as a “Best” practice for the Best Practices Library. TiA guides learners through key habits, mindsets, and tools for personal and academic resilience, drawing from Positive Psychology practices, CBT insights, and wholistic learning strategies. TiA is an upstream, early alert program for equity-deserving students who struggle academically and personally.
In this session, a panel of representatives will share their experiences in their adaptation and adoption of TiA at their institution. Panelists will include Caiti Casey from Windsor University, Emily Appleyard and Jennifer Babin from Niagara College, Breanne Molnar from The University of British Columbia, and Lisa Steffensen from Roane State College (Tennessee). Venus Bali, currently a TiA learning strategist at TMU, will also share how she implemented TiA at Mount St. Vincent University. This session will focus on the implementation of TiA, highlighting barriers and facilitators to program adoption.
