Developed by the Counselling and Wellbeing team, the Feeling Low online course supports you with evidence-based strategies for low to moderate levels of depression.
It's important to note that sometimes we need human connection more than self-help.

Mental health education and awareness
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) provides participants with the skills to assist people who are developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis, until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.
There are core Mental Health First Aid courses to learn how to assist specific population groups, and specialised Mental Health First Aid courses to learn how to help someone experiencing a specific crisis or situation.
Visit Mental Health First Aid Australia to explore available courses in the community.
Please note: Mental Health First Aid courses are a professional development opportunity to learn how to give first aid to others, and is not a therapy or support group.
Student Health, Counselling and Wellbeing is able to assist with embedding training and resources into your programs to enhance student wellbeing.
The team has worked with several areas across the University to embed wellbeing, mental health awareness and fit for professional practice content into curriculum and programs. We encourage you to get in touch to explore the possibilities for your courses and programs.
