Warwick SU's Feel Good Campaign runs annually to help us around exam times when there are particularly heavy workloads.
Our Feel Good Factor #1 is 'Good Mental Health'. As part of this, the NHS's IAPT team are coming back to run another 4 week workshop on managing stress, anxiety and low mood. This is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy lecture series that explores techniques on how to deal with an manage any difficulties – it is not group therapy and you would not be required to share any personal details.
The course runs from 1.30pm in SUHQ on Tuesdays.
There are still a few places left for the course - sign up here, or for more details contact Welfare Officer Ben Sundell at welfare@warwicksu.com.
From Week 5 onwards, this slot will be available for adhoc drop in sessions, if you want to speak with one of the NHS team on a one to one basis – contact Ben for more details.
