While you’re working hard, don’t forget to look after yourself too.

Our Wellbeing book collection is there to help you through the busy Summer Term. It has titles covering different aspects of mental health, personal development, stress, mindfulness, as well as study and exam tips.

Join the Wellbeing Walk on 20 May

Meet in the Library Welcome Hall at 1pm for a 30-minute walk

When busy, exercising might not be a priority – but it can be the thing your body (and brain!) needs most of all.

On our walk, we’ll enjoy our beautiful outside space on campus, mindfully taking in the sights and sounds to exercise your body and refresh your mind. The walk will be suitable for wheelchair users.

On your return to Templeman, you may find that you focus better and are more relaxed around your work than you were previously.

See what a difference half an hour can make!

It’s for staff too

At busy times it’s easy to get tempted not to take a break and carry on working. There are tips on managing stress the importance of taking breaks on the Staff wellbeing website. Come on our walk on 20 May – your brain will thank you by functioning better when it’s had a break!

Staff are also welcome to borrow from the Wellbeing collection.

Other activities

Student Wellbeing Services and Kent Sports are offering activities outside the Library during the week of 11 May – more detail will be available soon!
