Week 3 – Health and Wellbeing
Welcome to Week 3 – Focus on Your Health and Wellbeing!
By now, you’re hopefully starting to feel more settled into your course. University life can be exciting, but it can also come with its challenges. Whether you’re living away from home for the first time or balancing your studies with work and other responsibilities, it’s important to prioritize your wellbeing.
This week, we’re shining a spotlight on the free resources available on campus to support you. From our Student Health Service, Counselling Service, Mental Health and Well-being team to Pastoral Care workers, there are plenty of people here to help if you’re having a tough time.
And don’t forget – taking care of your body is just as important. ATU offers fantastic sports facilities, and even a walk around our campus green spaces can do wonders for your mental and physical health.
Take time this week to focus on you – whether it’s connecting with support services, getting some fresh air, or simply taking a moment to breathe.
✅ Join a wellbeing event – there’s something social happening every week to help you settle in and meet new faces.
✅ Register with the Health Service – especially handy if you’re living away from home. It’s free and confidential for all students.
✅ Check out the sports facilities – hit the gym, join a team, or just go for a lunchtime walk around campus.
✅ Review your budget – need a hand? Check out the Financial Readiness for Life digital badge for tips and tricks on managing your money.
✅ Having doubts about your course? – don’t panic! Chat with your programme coordinator or a careers officer. If you’re thinking of switching, transfers close on 9 October, so don’t leave it too late.
