We have a wide range of digital resources available to help students solve their own problems or achieve their goals without the direct supervision of professionals. These tools help students expand their knowledge and understanding of themselves, whilst providing advice and guidance on how to manage the issues concerning them.
These courses are structured to allow students to help themselves with support from another person. They require students to work with the contents of the self-help material to overcome any problems and achieve their personal goals.
We have a range of useful Wellbeing Workshops to help you explore particular wellbeing issues that may be impacting you. You can also use these workshops if you’d just like a little more information on how to either prevent issues in the future of maintain your wellbeing now. Examples of workshops include avoiding burnout, sleep wellness and dealing with worry.
