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.

Social media

Don't forget to follow us on instagram: @uomwellbeing.

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

This month, lots of our Take Notice content will be hosted on our Instagram channel @uomwellbeing

We will be running a month long Instagram grid campaign encouraging students to Take Notice. 

Be sure to repost our content on your own channels and share the instagram account in any relevant communications.

In January we understand that the exam season can be a stressful time for many students. We will be in the Library on the 25th  January from 12.45-1.15 giving out free water bottles and a 'wellbeing walk' leaflet to students. The aim is to encourage students to stay hydrated and take a break from thier studies by going for a mindful walk, using the Six Ways to Wellbeing as inspiration. 

Information on this event will be circulated via the wellbeing calendar and the uomwellbeing instagram.

Our wellbeing events calendar spotlights the events happening around the university and beyond that can help students take care of their wellbeing. 

All our wellbeing champions have been fully trained and are ready to start delivering events and promoting the six ways to wellbeing framework. More updates can be found on the wellbeing champions instagram.
