October 10th each year marks World Mental Health Day. At the Medway Campus this provides us with an opportunity to speak with students (and staff) about taking care of their own mental wellbeing.
In line with that, the last week has been filled with a variety of events for me.
On Tuesday, Oct 8th, I partnered with my colleague, Kim Diaper, from the University of Kent. We spent two hours in the Oasis Lounge engaging in conversation, providing information, and giving out lollies and bookmarks. However, the star of the show was most definitely Tommy, the PAT (Pets as Therapy) dog, who thoroughly enjoyed all the attention.Wednesday, Oct 9th saw me with the University of Greenwich Wellbeing Team running a cafe drop-in for three hours. We offered colouring, inspirational bookmarks, wellbeing advice and freebies; plus all the usually cafe essentials, such as tea, coffee, hot chocolate and snacks. In the region of 60 students visited us.It's always good to partner with our well-being teams 😀😀
Although they don't happen so often, I always thoroughly enjoy doing a Chaplaincy Pop-Up for CCCU, in the Rowan Williams building. This is where you would have found me yesterday (October 15th).
