What is the Student Wellbeing Course?
Managing mental health difficulties whilst studying at university
The course is designed for students who are experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Each session includes a mixture of information giving, group discussion, small group exercises and skills practice. The course is designed to be educational and skills focussed and is not ‘group therapy’ or a forum for addressing individual personal problems (although these will be the focus of individual skills practice).
Participants will be expected to complete homework between every session in order to integrate skills taught into their own lives. Homework will be reviewed as part of every session.
The overall aim of the course is to enable participants to develop a clear understanding of their problems in cognitive-behavioural terms and learn positive strategies to overcome them.
