Week 7 - Ways to Feel Good and Stay Focused This Week!

 
 
 
Dear Students,

Slowly but surely we are getting through November and can look forward to the bright lights of December! There's never been a more important time to take care of our mental health, so this week we'd like to draw your attention to the new SilverCloud resources highlighted below. There's a great range of self-directed programmes which may be of interest to you.

Among other events which may be of interest is the assignment writing webinar - will definitely be of help as you quickly approach submission deadlines!

Have a great week, keep the head down, we're getting there!

Warm Regards,
Claire
