Thanks to the work of many (e.g. Health, Counselling and Disability Services & Oasis), there is an excellent range of health and wellbeing supports to help students succeed. This post contains a video where I provide a flyover of those services. The goal is that students are aware of what supports are available and know which, if any, might be relevant to them during their time at Flinders.
Those of us in health and wellbeing services here at Flinders get a number of requests, particularly during orientation periods, to come and speak to different student cohorts about the services we provide. We really enjoy the opportunity to meet new students as they start their university life.
But despite our best efforts, we can’t always reach everyone in these efforts
So, I (+ my emerging beard) made a video of me talking about the services we provide 😊
It is just under 15 minutes long and covers the full range of what we do. My hope is it helps you determine whether or not there are supports we provide that might be beneficial to your university experience.
Staff: feel free to direct your students to this blog post as part of your topic OR email me and I can share the video within Canvas so you can add to a FLO topic.
Students: feel free to share with peers you think might benefit from our services.
If the video doesn’t answer your questions about what we provide, chuck your questions in the comments or email me directly: gareth.furber@flinders.edu.au
To supplement the video, you can access the slides. You can also view our Service Brochure which is a detailed overview of what we do. We also recommend a visit (and perhaps a subscribe) to Better U. Launched this year (2025), Better U is an ever-evolving showcase of what is happening at Flinders with student wellbeing as the focus.
If you are watching this on your mobile device and can’t scan the QR codes in the presentation, you’ll find all the included links below the video.
Enjoy!
