We recognise that during university life, meeting new people may be a challenge at times and this can lead to a feeling of being lonely. Research has proven loneliness negatively impacts mental health and we want to help avoid this. Aleena (Welfare and Equality Officer) and Dani (Postgraduate Officer) are organising this event to create an opportunity for you to meet with students who you can connect with and help boost your mental health and wellbeing. There will be some fun games and quizes to enjoy. Snacks and drinks will be provided too! (Please email any dietary requirements in advance to adc.union@newcastle.ac.uk) |
