Hello! Welcome back to Healthy Mentality. It is almost the end of the semester! In response to the comments shared on our blog and Facebook page, the H.M team would like to provide more information about the mental wellbeing activities at UNSW.
Each year in October we celebrate Mental Health Month in NSW, in the aim of spreading awareness about mental health and encouraging friends and loved ones to speak up! This year, the theme of the Mental Health Month (2018) is ‘Share your Journey.’ For our Hong Kong community, this subject is the perfect opportunity for students to share their experiences as students (international and local), and the highlights/difficulties they’ve encountered.
At UNSW, the wellbeing department offers a series of events and seminars, to help students relieve stress during their final weeks.
- Tai Chi
What is it about? Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition, considered a highly effective form of stress relief and mental wellbeing. Hosted by Angela Zhu (a Qi Gong and Tai Chi Instructor), her sessions will be the perfect opportunity for our Hong Kong students, to reduce their stress learn more about traditional Chinese culture.
