Student Wellbeing

It can feel stressful and overwhelming during an event like the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and we can all be affected differently. The following information from Headspace outlines strategies that might be helpful to manage any changes to daily life as a result of containment measures for COVID-19.

Tips to maintain a healthy headspace during this time:

• Be mindful of exposure to information through stories, traditional and social media. It can be helpful to take a break from the 24-hour news cycle.
• Do things that make you feel physically and emotionally safe, and be with those who are helpful to your wellbeing
• Engage in activities that promote a sense of calm and feeling grounded (use of alcohol and other drugs can be counterproductive with this).
• It can help to talk with a trusted adult if it all feels a bit much.
