Wellbeing Week

Welcome to Wellbeing Week!

Life can get busy when balancing study, work and other life commitments. When we feel stressed or overwhelmed – we can often forget how important it is to make the time to care for our mental health and wellbeing. 

During Wellbeing Week, take a moment for your wellbeing. Learn more about wellbeing and support available, connect with others, and get involved in taking meaningful action to support your wellbeing.  

Explore RMIT’s Ways of Wellbeing and the six action areas (‘ways’) of wellbeing to guide simple and effective ways to improve your wellbeing day to day. 

Get involved in a variety of FREE events and interactive activities available to put RMIT’s Ways of Wellbeing into practice.

The Counselling Armchair - Listen here

Tune in to listen to your RMIT counsellors on their podcast - sharing tips for navigating student life and ways to enhance your mental health and wellbeing.

Come join the Wellbeing team at Kirrip place for some creative and mindful activities including: 

Enjoying treats like Mango Lassi, fruit cups and Krispy Kreme donuts  

Making friendship bracelets to give to people you care about

RMIT’s Ways of WellBeing is a science-based model of protecting and maintaining your wellbeing, built on research and evidence about what kinds of behaviours help people be well.

Participating in the ways means including actions and activities in your life that may help improve or maintain wellbeing, build resilience, and lower your risk of experiencing mental health challenges. You may already be doing things that are aligned with the ways – and you may have even noticed that they improve your wellbeing.
