Wellbeing

Drop by the Tactile Playbox (Herston) to destress with some kinetic sand. Play has been shown to significantly decrease stress and increase social and coping skills, performance and cognitive ability, so come by to relax and enjoy free refreshments with us!

For many people, there is still a lot of stigma and shame attached to our mental health and wellbeing. This University Mental Health Day, contribute to our 'Let’s Chalk About It' walkway to share your messages of support, hope, and awareness around mental health with chalk! Join the UQ Health Promotion Ambassadors in front of Student Central Plaza who will provide you with chalk and conversation to raise awareness of mental health and services to support you.

Come down to Student Central this UMHD for 'Coffee and a Conversation'. We’ll have our wonderful UQ Counsellor Connect and UQ With You placement students providing self-care check-ins.
Plus, you’ll also walk away with a free MarketCart Coffee voucher to help you through your week!

Drop by the Tactile Playbox with our Student Advisors to destress with some kinetic sand and talk about exams, extensions, and your wellbeing. Play has been shown to significantly decrease stress and increase social and coping skills, performance and cognitive ability, so come by and relax with us!

We are collaborating with UQU’s Association of Postgraduate Students (UQUAPS) for their Henna & Tea event! Enjoy some tea whilst getting a free henna. PLUS, unwind with a free 5-minute massage. Bookings are not required – pop your name on the waitlist on the day or get your massage right away if there is a free spot.

Puppy pats? Say no more! Our furry friends from Happy Paws Happy Hearts will be at Herston campus, ready for some pats. There will also be a FREE sausage sizzle, hosted by the Faculty of Medicine, and stalls for you to chat about supports available to you as you prepare for the season of finals!
