Wellbeing Network

Hello and a warm welcome to the Wellbeing Network!

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 upcoming 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.
