#QUBeWell - We're On A Journey Together

Most of us know when we don’t feel great mentally or physically. Most of us don’t ask for help, even when we really need it. Stop the stigma and reach out for support. We’re here to help you be well.

Setting Out Our Vision For a Healthy Campus

Student & Staff mental health and wellbeing is everyone’s responsibility. In recent years we have made significant improvements in support & resources for students & staff, but we have much more to do.

Over the next number of months, we will work alongside you – our students & staff – to co-create our #QUBeWell Framework.

There is a quote that I like that says ‘Go as long as you can, and then take another step’. Every year that I spend at university is a step I never thought I would find the courage to make.

It’s not that us men don’t have emotions; we are taught to repress and deny them

I began to reflect on how phrases like “man up” and “big boys don’t cry” impact men’s mental health.
Students sometimes don’t know about the options they have available to them

Starting Outdoor Dad was a chance for me to fall in love again with the outdoors - and encourage others to do the same

Themes for 2022-23

Choosing themes that are important and relevant to you

The #QUBeWell Team have identified four main themes for the 2022/23 academic year that are based on a combination of our four key pillars, and what is important to our students' wellbeing at this time. These are:

1. Suicide Prevention.
2. Building a Sense of Community, Belonging & Identity.
3. Cost of Living Crisis.
4. Training & Awareness-Raising.
