Look After Your Mate workshop - Online - Swansea University students only

We know that most students talk to their friends when they are having a tough time.

We can talk to friends in confidence and they help us to keep challenges in perspective. The truth is that although university can be awesome, life’s curveballs still get thrown at us and in these situations we really need our mates to be there for us. Friendship can play a key role in helping someone live with or recover from any difficulties they are facing. But it can be hard to know what to say when a friend is struggling.


On Thursday 13th May 2021, during Mental Health Awareness Week, we are running a ‘Look After Your Mate’ workshop online at Swansea University, that will give you the necessary tips and tools to support a friend in need. 


The workshop includes:
Key practical tips for supporting a friend
● Spotting signs your friend is struggling
● How to start a conversation
● How to support a friend: listening and motivating
● Signposting to further support
● Looking after your own wellbeing as a supporter


Best of all, the workshop is FREE!
This workshop has been developed by Student Minds
