Subject: Support and events over the holidays



Dear All,

As we enter the holiday period, I am contacting you to let you know of some of the support and activities that are on offer to students throughout the University closure period. In liaison with Strath Union, a comprehensive programme of events and wellbeing support measures have been arranged. Key activity includes:

Mental Health and Wellbeing

  *   A mental health and wellbeing drop-in, facilitated by University counsellors, will run daily between 10am and 4pm.
  *   A daily meditation session will run from 9am to 9.30am each morning.
  *   A series of themed facilitator led sessions<https://www.strath.ac.uk/whystrathclyde/seasonsgreetings/wellbeing/> will run between 2pm and 3pm each day.

  *   All activities can be accessed using the following Zoom details:
·         Zoom ID: 934 1773 2278.
·         Password: 893462

  *   Please note that these services are not available on December 25th and January 1st.

International Student Virtual International Cafés

A series of virtual international cafés<https://www.strath.ac.uk/whystrathclyde/seasonsgreetings/whatson/> will be hosted by Student Ambassadors between December 22nd and 31st. The cafés, hosted regularly throughout the year, provide our students with an opportunity to share experiences and socialise with fellow students.

Strath Union Events

Strath Union have pulled together a fun and wide ranging programme of events to cover the festive period. Check out their pages<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.strathunion.com%2Fwhats-on%2F&data=04%7C01%7Caudrey.mckinnon%40strath.ac.uk%7C2976dbdec3954bbfe7de08d8a2764f6e%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C637437977204534336%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=i3%2FOKg3AR47cwisPLBOmIxW4EHWHjmA%2FvrOjGkZYVIk%3D&reserved=0> to find out what's on and how to get involved.



Full details of the holiday programme are available here<https://www.strath.ac.uk/whystrathclyde/seasonsgreetings/whatson/>. The attached leaflet outlines wellbeing hints and tips for students as well as information on how to access support.

I would be grateful if you could share this information with staff and students in your faculty as appropriate to help us reach as many students as possible.

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and I hope that you all enjoy your well deserved break.



Best wishes,



Ann
