Some days studying feels exciting. Other days it can feel overwhelming. Many Open University students balance study with work, family life and everything in between. When things feel heavy, you deserve support. At The Open University, our local Student Support Team is here to listen. If you need to talk, you can reach out through this page: ow.ly/nuZe50Ysh4J Support is also available beyond the University. Our partners @AWARENI offer services across Northern Ireland, including support groups and a support email service.

Dearest Gentle Reader, As the Bridgerton season concludes, may we remind you: even in times of scandal, society, and spreadsheets, one cannot pour from an empty cup. This Self-Care Sunday, do one thing for yourself. 💛 #AWARENI #SelfCareSunday #MentalHealthMatters

As we celebrate 30 years of AWARE, we’re proud to announce a new partnership with Apricot Insurance. 💛 Their team will be taking part in our flagship event, Giant Steps, with an ambitious goal to raise £3,000 in support of mental health services across Northern Ireland.

This post goes to all the overthinkers. We often imagine what can go wrong - but what if we imagined what could go right? Instead of playing out the worst-case scenario… try spending a moment with the best-case one too. You don’t have to believe it yet - just consider it 💛

Self-care isn’t always candles and bubble baths — sometimes it’s setting a boundary, drinking enough water, or finally booking that doctor’s appointment. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and it’s okay if your version of self-care looks different. 💛

We’re growing our Education & Training team at AWARE NI 💛 We’re currently recruiting for: 🎤 Flexible Sessional Trainers 📅 Closing date: 23 February 🗂 2 Administrator roles 📅 Closing date: 4 March Apply now: 👉 aware-ni.org/current-vacanc… #AWARENI #JobFairy
