Support and Safety
Wellbeing: Managing depressive feelings
This week's wellbeing theme is around low mood and how to tackle it. The third Monday in January has often been seen as challenging. This year, the Samaritans are renaming it 'Brew Monday' in a campaign to encourage everyone to reach out to someone over a cup of tea. It's important that we stay connected. A small dip in how we feel is natural but if the low mood continues then it can tip into depression. If you're feeling flat then this is the time to make an extra effort to lift the spirits, taking time for yourself and taking care of yourself. Please see our masterclass on how to Boost Your Mood. If you need any support please reach out to our Wellbeing team via the wellbeing portal.
Active Bystander Intervention course
Let's work together as a community and help to keep everyone at Warwick safe. Being an active bystander means being aware of when someone's behaviour is inappropriate or threatening and choosing to challenge it either yourself or with the help of others (if it's safe to do so). You can now register your interest for our active bystander intervention course and explore other resources.
Primary courses of vaccines available
On 15 February from 9am-1pm, we have a clinic at the Health Centre on campus for your primary course of vaccines (1st, 2nd or booster). Please call the surgery on 024 7526 3418 after 11am to check your eligibility and book your appointment.
