STUDENT WELLBEING

A Message from the Wellbeing Team

The holidays and Christmas season are meant to be a time of joy, but for many people they can be a time of stress, anxiety, disappointment and loneliness.  Lifeline has put together 12 Days of Mental Wellness, a collection of tips to help look after yourself at this time:
