September spotlight: building connections
This month we highlight the importance of connecting with others, checking in with your mates and asking R U OK?
Learn how building positive support networks and meaningful connections is essential to our physical and emotional wellbeing.
Be inspired
Be inspired to prioritise your health and wellbeing by attending a wellness event. Check out some of the events you can attend this month:
R U OK? Day
Having an R U OK? conversation on Thursday 12 September is a great way to start connecting.
At UQ we're encouraging local areas to put on a BBQ or morning tea where workmates can come together and build connections.
We can also provide a PowerPoint resource to share with your team on the day. Contact us at uqwellness@uq.edu.au for more information.
Positive relationships
A healthy relationship is a two-way street. Think about the positives you add to a relationship and the good things that come back to you.
Take the time to:
- nurture and invest in the quality of your relationships
- be your authentic self when engaging with others
- listen effectively
- accept and celebrate differences.
