With our trainers you will explore the 4 key areas, listed below, through a process of listening and sharing:
Connecting to others within the group, building a powerful sense of community and belonging which can be nurtured and sustained throughout your study period and beyond.
Investigate the relationship between expectation and reality, how this influences your behaviours and the power of choice.
Explore the purpose and process of goal setting in relationship to your university experience. Identifying a goal for yourself, breaking the goal down to create an action plan and consider what support might be needed to achieve the goal
Reconsider the concept of ‘support,’ challenging the commonly held deficit-based understanding of support and identifying existing and new support systems available to you as students. As a group you will become a peer support network to each other and will be linked into accountability groups.
