🌟 As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Week, we want to give a massive shoutout to our University whānau with special thanks to our event hosts and organisers for sharing the aroha across our campuses. Your energy has made it a week to remember! 🌿💚🌿

Looking after our mental health is part of everyday life, and it is especially important to prioritise your wellbeing during busy periods. So let’s take these good vibes and keep topping up together with the Five Ways to Wellbeing:

💞 Me whakawhanaunga—connect
🌱 Me ako tonu—keep learning
😍 Me aro tonu—take notice
👟Me kori tonu—be active
🎁 Tukua—give

Me ako tonu (keep learning) and thriving with the Wellbeing Kete: https://wgtn.ac.nz/wellbeing-kete💫

Te Wiki o te Hauora Hinengaro—Mental Health Awareness Week is just around the corner 😍📅 October 6–12!

Keep an eye out 👀 for the events schedule 💚—it's chocka with opportunities for staff and students to connect, reflect, and Top Up Together 🎉

Start the week strong by prioritising your wellbeing now! 🥰

Aroha mai, aroha atu 🌠🌠

Research from the Harvard Study of Adult Development indicates that people who are socially well connected are happier and physically healthier than those who are less well connected.

Whether it’s a quick message, a coffee catch-up, or joining a group activity, meaningful interactions foster a sense of belonging and wellbeing.

As the trimester heads into its busy period, keep making time to connect with your friends and whānau—it can make all the difference!
