Scientists tell us we all have a green gene – not literally coloured green of course but one that causes us to feel attracted to and compelled by the natural world. The aim of these sessions is to help you focus on a particular aspect; supporting your wellbeing by taking you to a different world. They are filled with fun and quirky facts, and are seasonally relevant in order to help you remain connected to the world outside your door. King’s Garden is a social enterprise that supports those who need help to access the natural world for themselves; those in care homes, hospitals, living with dementia and/other life-impacting conditions. June – Mystery Guest – have you ever seen Britain’s’ rarest mammal? He’s only been seen in the UK six times and was last spotted sunbathing in Halifax in 2017. He has 23 cousins across the world; not all are red. He’s a member of the dog family but behaves more like a cat. Come and join Isa from King’s Garden as we take a close look at the UK’s most favourite mammal. Something completely different for grown-up children. No prior ‘googling’ allowed! This session is for 1 Hour

CHERISH: Caring for University Students’ Mental Health and Wellbeing

Organised by

The University of Westminster

Location

London - London - Westminster

Dates

June Thursday 10th

University of Westminster CHERISH: Caring for University Students’ Mental Health and Wellbeing To mark the Carers Week 2021, the University of Westminster would like to invite you to our CHERISH carers event on Thursday 10th June 2021, which aims to raise awareness of people caring/supporting individuals who may be experiencing difficulties with their mental health and/or wellbeing. Whilst poor mental health has been on the rise for several years amongst this group, it has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, placing greater demand on supportive provisions from professionals, charities, and organisations. In addition, friends, family members, colleagues, and many others are finding themselves in a supporter/carer role. Whilst this can be a rewarding experience, it can also be overwhelming. It is important that supporters/carers look after their mental health and wellbeing and feel supported in their role. The CHERISH Carers Workshop, organised with the support of the Health Innovation and Wellbeing Research Community, will offer a variety of talks and panel discussions from academics, persons with lived experience, and professionals working in different sectors to support mental health. We will cover topics focused on the diversity of what a supportive role may look like, ranging from informal to professional experiences, ways to look after yourself as a supporter/carer, and discussions about the role organisations such as Universities, charities, health care services can play in supporting supporters/carers. Some of the speakers include: Dr. Dominique Thompson: an award-winning GP, young people’s mental health expert, TEDx speaker, author and educator, with over 20 years of clinical experience caring for students. Sally Olohan (MBE): Head of Student Support and Residential Life at University of Westminster. Expert in higher education student support and wellbeing issues, with experience in service design, policy and strategy development. Dr. Kathryn Waddington: Reader in Psychology. Author of the book 'Towards the compassionate university: From golden thread to global impact'; University of Westminster. Laura Culshaw: Doctoral student & assistant psychologist in the NHS research focuses understand self-harm amongst University students; University of Westminster. Tina Cartwright: Reader and Registered Health Psychologists, specialised in the role of yoga and meditation in facilitating health and wellbeing; University of Westminster.

What is Carers Week?

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

This year we are coming together to Make Caring Visible and Valued.

The campaign is brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations who come together to provide support for carers, run activities, highlight the vital role carers play in our communities and draw attention to just how important caring is.

Who is a carer?

A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, illness, mental health condition, or who needs extra help as they grow older. It isn’t someone who volunteers or is employed to provide support.
