Here at La Trobe, we have lots of free training for students. You can see the full training offerings on the Health and Wellbeing Training page.
Below are some upcoming free mental health workshops for students.
Anxiety Uncovered (Online)
Thursday 29 August – 12.30 pm – 3 pm
Anxiety Uncovered is a 2.5 hour workshop that provides students with an understanding of what anxiety is, why we have it and how it can present itself in our day to day lives. The workshop covers basic strategies to help ‘switch off’ the fight/flight/freeze response in our bodies, and different tools to be able to step back from our anxious or worry thoughts and be able to tolerate the experience of anxiety. By the end of the session, students will have tools and resources to be able to ground themselves and step back from anxious thoughts so that anxiety can have less control over our lives. Students will be provided with a resource pack including audio tracks and worksheets.
Mental Health Basics (Online)
Thursday 5 September – 1 pm – 4 pm
Mental Health Basics is a 3 hour workshop where students can learn about common mental health presentations such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, self-harm and suicidality. Learn techniques to be able to provide emotional support to someone struggling and be able to point them in the direction of support (including University pathways and supports).
