Wellbeing Network
Hello and a warm welcome to the Exeter Wellbeing Network, offering wellbeing-focussed events and activities for staff at Streatham and St Luke's campuses.
If you are looking for information about events going on across the Penryn, Truro and Falmouth campuses, please visit the Cornwall Wellbeing Network page here.
We are a supportive community of staff and PGRs who want to improve our wellbeing through meaningful connections and open conversations about mental health.
You can view our recurring events below.
- Open-minded conversations about how you are really feeling and doing.
- An opportunity for social connection.
- A supportive environment where all feel welcome.
- An invitation to come along to activities and socials.
- This group is in no way to be used as a replacement for professional help – e.g. therapy, Doctors, etc.
- This is not group therapy, and we must all be mindful about how we speak about what we’re going through so that others will not feel overburdened.
- This group is not intended to be for advocacy, consultancy or policy feeding into the University – we can redirect you to the suitable spaces to do so.
We launched in December 2022, have over 200 members and are always keen to welcome new people into our community.
