EURAXESS UK Webinar for Researchers - Mental Health, Wellbeing and Resources

A EURAXESS UK webinar for international researchers on mental health and wellbeing. 

This 90-minute workshop considers the challenges of the research environment to wellbeing and mental health and some of the ways individuals can manage their stress both at work and elsewhere, to maintain a healthy and effective work life balance.

This workshop will: 

• Highlight the understood challenges of working in a research environment
• Develop an understanding of the individual impact of those challenges on our wellbeing
• Explore best practice approaches to reducing stress
• Provide signposting on institutional support and wider sector resources
