As part of the ‘Improving Student Mental Health through Partnerships Project’, we will be delivering a series of workshops specifically designed for you, the student body, in order to promote improved knowledge and awareness of mental health issues. These workshops will deliver new concepts to aid in self-care, signpost to self-help mental health services and helpful external links for further reading on clinical knowledge, appropriate charities and organisations and YouTube videos.

The course will follow a theme of ‘Living with’ various mental health issues and the struggles that come with it, but, more importantly, methods to deal with these issues and ways to live healthily.

The course will run on the second Wednesday of every month and all students are welcome.

The first workshop will consist of various topic areas surrounding anxiety, and how anxiety is portrayed in the world today. Some examples of discussion areas include:

• Living with worry and fear

• Understanding anxiety

• Understanding panic

• Misunderstandings and myths around anxiety

• Coping with worry, fear and isolation during uncertain times

The workshops sessions will be interactive and will encourage lots of discussion. The session will be delivered via Zoom and there will be integration from Sli.do, a polling and audience interaction platform, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to get involved, ask and answer questions, and expand your knowledge on the topic.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety yourself or want to learn more about the scientific nature behind anxiety, or simply want to broaden your understanding of issues around anxiety, we would love to see you at the workshop and look forward to your participation!
