This is where we will provide details of our upcoming wellbeing events and workshops. After the workshops, any corresponding resources will be published on the 'resources tab.' You're also welcome to email asking to discuss any of these topics!
It's incredibly helpful to us if we know in advance how many people to expect and some events are on a register only basis. For that reason if you can, please let us know you hope to attend here.
The regular Student Drop-In sessions will take place every Thursday during semester time. Come along and meet your student support services team to ask any questions you may have.
