Building positive relationships with those around us can help improve our wellbeing and the wellbeing of those we are connecting with.
Ways to improve/maintain relationships with self and others
Connecting with others and nurturing relationships helps us all feel like we’re not alone. It is not only beneficial to our own mental health to cultivating positive relationships with others, but it also can really boost the wellbeing of those we care about –so we’re all feeling good!
At King's
Even though we’re not all on campus, there are many ways we can stay connected.
Each week during term time, you can find us on each campus where you can meet our friendly Student Wellbeing Ambassadors, try out a new activity and explore support services available. Come and meet new people and make new friends! See Time Out Hubs for more information.
