Real Talk at UNSW: a conversational approach supporting staff and students

There is no perfect way to start a conversation regarding mental health and wellbeing, however, starting a conversation is the first step.

The headspace University Support Program is hosting a short, practical workshop on how to have relevant, safe and supportive conversations with people in the university who are experience mental health difficulties.

We welcome any UNSW staff member, regardless of your role.
