What events do we run?
You can find the Check Point team on campus throughout the term for a serve of tasty treats and practical wellbeing tips. At both of these events, your meal will come with realistic suggestions for how to practice the skills needed for good wellbeing. This means that as you visit each Wellness Check Point throughout the term, you will continue to build on what you learned at the last event!
Look out for the following events:
Brekkie Club
Mornings can be tough, so let us give you a hand. Grab a free breakfast and set yourself up for success with a dose of mindful reflection.
