Wellness Series Workshops
This school year, the SU have been running a series of Wellness Workshops facilitated by sports psychologist James J Claffey of P.R.I.D.E Psychology. Topics covered so far have been: Sleep & Mental Health, Exercise and Well-being, Food & the Brain, and Resilience for Students. Our final workshop of the year will take place in April and will cover Exam Time/Stress Management.
The SU spoke with Radio and TV Journalism student, Lea Heming following her attendance of the Exersise and Well-being workshop:

SU: What did you think about the workshop on Exercise and Well-being?
LH: I am really impressed. I have previously looked into exercise and depression just because I am interested in it, and it was really nice to hear someone talk about it with more insight. I found it interesting to hear about the background of stress as a student.
SU: What was your primary take away from the workshop?
LH: Actually, that I might start exercising in the moring instead of the evening. He [James J Claffey] told us that could actually benefit you in your quality everyday life.
SU: Will you be at the next workshops?
LH: Definitely
The Students’ Union also provides students with contact information for a confidential off-campus counselling service. Students can email counselling@griffith.ie to book an appointment, or call 085 152 1511.
