UC Wellbeing is here to support your hauora – your overall wellbeing – while you’re studying at UC. Whether it’s tips to manage stress, ways to stay active, or events that help you connect with others, we are here to support you.

We run regular activations, workshops, and events throughout the year – so there’s always something happening! Want to know what’s coming up? Keep an eye on our socials to keep updated!

To see what’s happening this month check out the calendar below. You can find more information on the posters in and outside of The Living Room (next to the bookshop) – A space where you can go and take a break between your studies anytime from  9am – 4pm on weekdays.

Take care,

Life & Anxiety, an ACT approach workshop

2 Comments

We know it can be tough to experience anxiety while at University. The UC Health Centre is hosting an anxiety workshop series to provide students with the opportunity to explore new ways to experience life so that anxiety doesn’t run the show. You will be with a small group of likeminded students – a safe and supportive environment.

For enrolment or info reach out to Anna Dalzell, Counsellor at the UC Health Centre.
