Writing is good for expressing your feelings, but it can also help to distract you from any unwanted thoughts or feelings. This workshop will help you write a Haiku – a short form of simple poetry, taking nature as the subject – to help you with your mental wellbeing.
Student Connect
Wednesday 11th December10.30am-12.30pm
Many of our students have said they would like to have more opportunities to connect with each other, so we are providing Student Connect sessions during the autumn term for you to meet. These sessions are facilitated by members of our team, so that any questions about Recovery College can be answered there and then. They are also an opportunity for social connection and peer support.
Recovery College students decide on the talking points – share wellbeing tools and resources, Recovery College learning, provide student experience feedback and present ideas for new courses or workshops or have your voice.
Come along and connect with your fellow students in an informal and welcoming space.
