We offer a range of groups, workshops and events to support your mental health.

Art Hive

The Living Room Community Art Studio has partnered with our university to give you a creative break and enjoy some self-care. The Creative Wellness Hive is a chance for you to make and share art for free! If you see the blue bus at our north or downtown Oshawa campus, stop by for some well-deserved fun and to learn more about our campus supports and services.

LEARN MORE - Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Group

The Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills Group provides support in the areas of emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness.

Sessions are conducted virtually on Wednesdays from 1 to 3 p.m. 

Students may register for any of the three modules or for the full 24 week cycle. If you have questions about the DBT skills group, or you’d like to join, please email studentlifeline@ontariotechu.ca.

The distress tolerance module will start in fall 2026. We're accepting new students to the group. Please email and request a DBT intake.
