So, you're starting university - you've learnt what to pack, where to
socialise, how to cook (sort of)... but what about how to look after
your mental health?
University is a whirlwind of exciting, fresh experiences. But it can
also be overwhelming. You're in a strange new environment and faced with
the pressure to make friends, complete difficult assignments, stay
healthy, manage your finances and so much more, all while being away
from your loved ones. In this time of massive change, looking after your
mental wellbeing is more important than ever.
Nic Hooper has witnessed the student mental health crisis unfolding
every day on campus and is determined to help. A psychologist with
fifteen years' experience teaching and mentoring young adults, The
Unbreakable Student is his guide to navigating your university years
and staying sane using six simple rules:
- Using exercise to stay healthy in body and mind
- Learning to positively challenge yourself
- Connecting with your peers
- Mindfully embracing the moment
- Managing self-critical thoughts and vulnerability
- Giving to others and taking positive action
