October 8, 2026, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE): Canadian University Dubai (CUD) marked World Mental Health Day with an event led by the Psychology Society, with support from Student Affairs and the Psychology Department. Titled “Inside Out,” the event featured activity areas inspired by different emotions.
Students took part in mindfulness sessions, mandala art and Zumba, along with a mini game show and poetry, photography and fashion contests. A panel discussion, “Adulting & Emotional Regulation: Why Growing Up Doesn’t Mean Having It All Together,” featured Dr. Mohammad Nami and Dr. Reem Abu Hweij.
Interactive booths offered further opportunities for connection and self-expression, with sensory and stress-relief activities, core memory ball making, self-esteem and cyanotype stations, karaoke and Just Dance, as well as well-being support from partner clinics.
The day reflects CUD’s commitment to student well-being and to creating space for open conversation, creativity and care across the University community.
