Six ways to wellbeing - Take Notice (all month)

This month's way to wellbeing spotlight is on Take Notice

We'll be producing material to support and promote this way, alongside focusing on a different, salient wellbeing topic each week. Please visit the other items in this menu for more details.

Don't forget, if you want to plan your own activity and need inspiration, examples of previous events can be found here. If you have any ideas for future events, please send these to studentsupport@manchester.ac.uk.

Resources

You can find ready-made resources here or, if you want to create your own, visit the University's brandsite for the assets you'll need (you'll need to scroll down a little to get to them!).

If creating your own, you’ll need to buy InDesign (in Adobe Creative Cloud) from the University's Electronic Software Delivery system.

You should also ask IT to install the University fonts, they can do this simply for you here.

Weekly Wellbeing Events

Every Sunday evening we will be promoting wellbeing events to encourage and remind students of the importance of looking after their wellbeing, and of the many events taking place on campus.

We'll be handpicking different events and activites students can take part in throughout the week from mindfulness sessions to exercise classes.

This will be promoted through our instagram page @uomwellbeing.

If you'd like to run your own activities to promote positive wellbeing and need some inspiration, take a look at this event ideas page. If you have an idea for an event we could run or you would like us to include an event in the weekly event instagram story, please email us: studentsupport@manchester.ac.uk
