UofG Peer Wellbeing Support

Last week our fantastic PWS Medics and Life Science Supporters held a bake sale outside the library. Here’s a sweet picture of Aiyana, Cecily and Yousef with the equally sweet cakes they made and sold for £1! Thank you to everyone who came for a chat, a coffee and a cake. 🍰 ☺️

Studying on campus this Monday? 📚 Visit our Peer Wellbeing Support bake stall outside the Fraser building and chat to some of our peer supporters... and most importantly eat cake! 🧁

It might be the Easter break but we want to remind you that we are here for you if you need it. ☺️ We have PWS Sessions available online. You can chat to a student from any school or college – it doesn’t need to be yours! Find out what students are available to talk to via our story and highlights.

Lexi, this cute Cavachon, from Canine Concern Scotland Trust (CCST), visited the Fore Hall recently to bring some welcome joy and stress relief. Attending a Paws for Stress event is an excellent excuse to step away from your work and engage in some vital self-care; indeed, clapping a dog or cat has been proven to slow down our heartbeat and lower our blood pressure! 🥰

Aside from being very cute, Therapets offer invaluable opportunities for us to consciously make time for our mental health and well-being. The more we pause, the better!

Definitely look out for the next Paws for Stress event around campus! Therapets have the power to ensure our days can be something approaching magical...

On Tuesday 3rd May, our wonderful Peer Wellbeing Supporters ran a free bake stall outside the library. They provided informal peer support, promotes our service, and gave away some delicious homemade baking to support students stressed by exams. The homemade goods included chocolate peanut butter cookies, banana bread, and Amina’s amazing mandazi! 😌 They did such a great job, we ran out of baking and had to grab some emergency biscuits! Thank you to everyone who came to our stall, and to our PWS supporters for making it happen! 💜
