Wellbeing Week is part of the extended Orientation program, open to everyone at Flinders. Engaging with Wellbeing Week can be as simple as taking a moment of self-reflection on how you are doing, through to signing up for multiple wellbeing-focused activities and events.
I just saw that the Wellbeing Week website has been updated 🥳It means you can start locking in activities for the 6th to 10th May focused on your personal health and wellness.
What is Wellbeing Week?
Wellbeing Week at Flinders University is a part of the extended orientation program and designed to empower students with the knowledge and skills needed to foster both their mental and physical health. This week-long event offers a range of activities aimed at promoting a balanced lifestyle, supporting mental health, and building a supportive community among students. Engaging with Wellbeing Week can be as simple as stopping by the pop-up stalls at your campus, to packing your calendar/diary with programs and events.
