This new weekly initiative is a safe space on campus, which promotes a healthy mind, body, and spirit are foundations for students to achieve their personal and academic goals.

Through the Wellbeing Wednesdays, you will be able to connect with trained staff, and our new Student Wellbeing and Equity Ambassadors, to navigate campus wellbeing-related services and learn more about health topics and wellness resources. You will gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enhance personal as well as collective wellbeing.

The Wellbeing Wednesdays hub will also provide you with the opportunity to learn about different approaches to wellness from non-western medicinal science and offer an inclusive and welcoming environment for students from all cultures and backgrounds. Benefits for students include:

• Joining for free yoga, counselling dogs visits and tea-making workshops to improve your health
• Learning about wellbeing perspectives from non-western medicinal sciences, e.g. Chinese and Indian medicinal use of plants, spices and nutrition to achieve optimal health and disease prevention
• Meeting our nurses via flexible, drop-in attendance, with opportunities for mini triage/consultations pertaining to nutrition, improving your lifestyle
• Learning from peers, as well as from health professionals about issues affecting sexual health, pregnancy and contraception
• Meeting our Community Garden Team for planting workshop and picking up some fresh veggies, fruits and plants to take home
• Learning about creating a holistic approach to your health

You are welcome to join us at the Base in the Winter Garden from 10:30am – 2:30pm each Wednesday from 11 August 2021.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The Access, Wellbeing & Equity Team.
