Mood Boost

COVID-19 update: Mood Boost sessions are currently suspended whilst we prepare for the reopening of our campuses.

Mood Boost is a fresh approach to wellbeing run by students for students.

This free course will help you manage your anxiety, stress and low mood, and connect with other students in a safe, caring and supportive space. It runs on different campuses over four consecutive Wednesday afternoons.

Why take part in Mood Boost?

It might seem like everyone around you is having a good time at university. But many students, at some point or another, find themselves feeling stressed, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, isolated or lonely.

Mood Boost will teach you techniques to help you manage your mental health. 

  • Learn techniques based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Share your experiences and speak freely
  • Feel a sense of belonging and community
  • Sessions are led by students who receive training and supervision from a counsellor from our Student Wellbeing service.
