Take some time for your mental health, and remind yourself that your mental health and wellbeing matters.
Make a terrarium to bring some greenery into your room/home for yourself, or as a gift for a friend/loved one! Or find some calm in clay, and sculpt your own art pieces with the UQ Counsellors. Molding, shaping and creating with your hands can bring you some tranquility amidst the rush and chaos of daily life.
What's more, draw on some paw-sitivity from puppy pats to recharge your feel-good battery and lower your stress levels.
Mark your calendars and bring your friends along and let's normalise, prioritise and take time for our mental health and wellbeing today, and every day!
