Wellbeing Wednesday - 3 December

With the winter break coming up, here’s how we’re supporting your health and wellbeing over the holidays:

  • Looking after yourself
  • Navigating eating challenges
  • Managing recovery during the holidays
  • A budget-friendly Christmas
  • National Grief Awareness Week
  • College colouring and festive film afternoon

Looking after yourself

The festive season can be a joyful time, but it may also feel overwhelming. Make sure to take some time for yourself and explore these coping tips from Mind.

Navigating eating challenges

YoungMinds has asked three students about their relationship with food over Christmas. Explore their tips and where you can find further support.

Managing recovery during the holidays

Student Alfie Luck discusses how you can support someone in recovery and to find the help you need during the Christmas period. Whatever you’re experiencing, remember we’re here for you 24/7. Explore our Time to Talk pages.

A budget-friendly Christmas

Christmas doesn’t need to break the bank. Plan ahead, shop deals, and get creative to make the season memorable without overspending, using our guide to a budget-friendly Christmas.

National Grief Awareness Week

During the festive period, our thoughts often turn to those who are no longer with us. Sue Ryder’s article on coping with grief at Christmas offers helpful advice, with ideas to remember your loved ones.
