DEFINING WELLBEING

WHY WELLBEING IS IMPORTANT
Taking on a course of new study is often challenging, but this is especially so for vet nursing and other animal care professions. People drawn to these careers are often highly compassionate individuals who care deeply about animals.
Learning how to be an advocate for animals, while balancing your studies and caring for yourself are vital habits that will serve you in your career. And that’s what true wellbeing is really about.
As you undertake your studies, know we are here to assist you in bridging the gap as you learn new skills, juggle managing your time, the stress of studying and still have some self care in place.
We hold your mental and emotional wellbeing in high regard, knowing that a happy focused, well balanced student will do better in their studies, and thus in their future career.
The following resources, training videos, self-care strategies and a wellbeing coach are provided with all of this in mind; to ensure your success not only in completing your studies, but doing so with minimal stress and greater confidence.
Your wellbeing matters.
Use these Wellbeing resources to improve your mindset, be efficient with your studies, reduce stress or implement better self-care strategies.
