Wellbeing

Use your hands and play with clay this UMHD! This session is not about creating something that is perfect! It's about going with the flow of what feels comfortable to you and connect with the experience of working with your hands, and with the energy among all attending. You have total control to create something for you, an object as a conversation starter or something of significance to give to someone you appreciate.

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!
