This is a 4-week skills group for anyone who has difficulty in managing a healthy relationship, whether past or present. This includes all personal relationships you may have – family, friends, your partner. Each session will focus on a theme, with several subjects covered within each theme. There will be exercises and work to take away which can be revisited to further develop learned skills. The aim of the course is to develop skills to improve the relationships in your life.

This skills group aims to give you a better overall understanding of anxiety; how it affects us and exploring techniques to help you take back control. This course runs for 4 weeks and will have a different focus each sessions. By the end of the 4 weeks, hopefully the course will have provided you with a toolkit to help you to better manage anxiety.

Exposure to drinking culture and recreational drug use can sometimes feature as part of student life. Excessive substance use can affect your judgement, lead to unsafe situations and have long term implications on your health. ‘We Are With You’ is Lincoln’s drug and alcohol service and they will be joining us to provide advice sessions. These sessions will be helpful, whether you are experiencing concerns around alcohol/ substance use, or just generally want to be better informed. 

For more information about these sessions, please get in touch with the Student Wellbeing Centre by emailing studentwellbeing@lincoln.ac.uk or by calling us on 01522 886400 or book a First Contact Appointment using our First Contact appointment form to book an appointment.

There are two new gardening projects that University of Lincoln students can engage in.

We have an allotment plot, which is located off-campus behind the Lincoln City football stadium (Sincil Bank) and is co-leased with a member of the community.

We have an on-campus rooftop terrace garden on campus that we affectionately call the “Sky Garden” – located on the 3rd floor of the Alfred Tennyson Building.

Both of these spaces will give you an opportunity to work outdoors, develop gardening skills and promote positive wellbeing all in a socially inclusive environment.

The Allotment will run fortnightly on Tuesday mornings (10am-12pm), and The Sky Garden will run weekly, every Thursday afternoon (2-4pm).

 

Please contact the Student Wellbeing Centre to find out more information.
