It includes news, articles and resources focused on student wellbeing, with a focus on mental health and productivity.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s also a newsletter. Each week (currently Wednesday) an email goes out to subscribers with an overview of the latest blog posts.<\/p>\n<p>We added the newsletter component so people could stay up-to-date with what we were doing, without having to remember to revisit the blog each week.<\/p>\n<p>Now for those of you that subscribed directly and recently, it won&#8217;t be a mystery why you are getting these emails.<\/p>\n<p>But some of you might not remember when you subscribed and thus be confused about why you are getting these emails.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully this post clears it up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4869\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/once-upon-a-time.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/once-upon-a-time.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/once-upon-a-time-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/once-upon-a-time-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/once-upon-a-time-1024x171.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First, many years back (I think 2018), we took those people who were on the Disability Mailing List and subscribed them to the newsletter. This is because we started <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/category\/disability-news\/\">putting disability news<\/a> on the blog. There might be a few of you left from those days.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the registration form you complete when getting a service from Health, Counselling and Disability Services (HCDS) has a tick box that asks if you&#8217;d like to receive regular news and articles from HCDS. If you ticked &#8216;yes&#8217;, you got subscribed to the blog.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, some of you might have done Mindful Yoga with Maureen in previous years and her registration form had a similar question to the HCDS one. If you ticked &#8216;yes&#8217;, you got subscribed to the blog.<\/p>\n<p>And look, there is always the possibility that you subscribed a while back and forgot. I do that quite often. Don&#8217;t feel bad.<\/p>\n<p>What is important though is that we wouldn&#8217;t have added you randomly. There are strict rules on subscribing people to content without their permission. I wouldn&#8217;t want it done to me and so I don&#8217;t do it to others.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4870\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/email.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/email.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/email-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/email-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2023\/03\/email-1024x171.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now we&#8217;d like you to stay as a subscriber &#8211; the landscape of health, wellbeing and mental health services here at Flinders is always changing and we use the blog to keep students and staff abreast of these changes.<\/p>\n<p>However, I am also very mindful of just how much information we all get on a regular basis and I totally understand the need to scale back. I regularly trim back my <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/2022\/08\/18\/my-wellbeing-reading-list\/\">wellbeing reading list<\/a>.
