Editor’s letterThe wellbeing issue

Kia ora koutou,

This week’s issue is all about wellbeing or hauora <3

We’re looking into the services that surround us to help us through hard times and have some personal essays and practical tips to help you when you have a lull, or even a crisis. If you do find yourself needing extra support, please reach out to the counselling service and student union, details in the magazine. We have features this week on a wide variety of well-being related topics, from perfectionism, to counselling, to rongoā (Māori traditional healing).

Remember, if you are going through tough times, it is important to ask for support. We all go through it and if you reach out, you will find there are so many people out there who want to help. You’re always welcome to come for a cuppa with us at MASSIVE/ Te Tira Ahu Pae, and take some wellbeing tips from Pocket, our resident agony aunt and instant gloominess lifter. I find spending time with animals a great reprieve from the stress and silliness of human life, personally...

We hope you find time to breathe, connect with your mates, and have some ‘you’ time this week.
