How to improve your resilience in the lead-up to exams
Resilience is like a secret superpower, especially in the face of academic pressures, personal challenges, and uncertainties in life.
Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that mental health matters as much as academic success. It’s a time for us to prioritise self-care in the lead-up to exams, seek help when needed, and build the emotional strength to bounce back from setbacks.
During October, free events celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month will take place across all campuses.
To read the full schedule of events and activities happening online and on campus visit the Student Health and Wellbeing website. To secure your spot, please register your attendance.
