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.

If you entered books into the SU Book Sale that happened in Term 1, and still haven't collected your proceeds or unsold books, there is one final opportunity to do this. This will be on 24 April, Wednesday of Week 1, 11am-3pm, in the Mighty Duck (Dirty Duck Pub). Please don't forget to bring your sellers form. If for any reason you cannot attend this, please arrange for someone else to collect on your behalf by contacting cosmo.march@warwicksu.com.
