The Mental Wellbeing Team are launching a range of Wellbeing Workshops to support you through your first Semester and beyond.
The workshops are run in small groups and offer you a chance to share and learn from others in a confidential and relaxed environment. It is hoped they will help you develop strategies to not only cope with some of the common issues students say they face, but to be happy and successful while at CCCU.
Places are limited so if you are interested in attending any of the workshops below please book your place
