"I have been attending Chai and Chat sessions organised by the Health and Wellbeing department. It has helped me analyse problems differently and sooth my anxiety" I am very grateful for their efforts. From arranging different sessions and workshops and most of all, giving importance to the sensitive topic of mental health." - Aishwarya D
"My sessions with Health and Wellbeing have been nothing but life changing. I came to the department with a lot of anxiety and stress, but also a lot of emotional baggage from my past. They allowed me to recognise the reason why I felt like I did, but more importantly, how to react when I do have an anxiety attack. This undoubtedly is what allowed me to complete my studies and spread my academic wings fully." - Omar M
