Tell us your Wellbeing story
08 May 2018
Contribute to our Wellbeing blog
During the month of May, the Wellbeing Team will be sharing the health and wellbeing calendar for May on the University’s Staff Wellbeing website.
The wellbeing team and wellbeing champions will raise awareness of key national and international health days via a combination of StaffNet, Blogs and social media.
And we are inviting staff to contribute their personal experiences or research this month to our Wellbeing Blog based on the health days listed below.
Sharing personal stories and experiences is a great way to connect with others, raise awareness and encourage more conversations around wellbeing in our staffing community.
