  • It’s so important to keep track of your mental health and to start talking about it. Don’t wait too long to address potential issues, or they might get worse than they need to be.

  • “Talking about my feelings helped me to find the way up.” I think the program during this Surf Your Stress week can help students to realise that they are not alone in feeling sad, stressed out or under pressure.

  • It is not always possible to avoid stress, but you can learn how to deal with it. It may not come easy, but it is a skill you can develop and your effort will yield a reward.
