Post-secondary education and balancing studies with family and work can lead to stress and anxiety. To support you through these challenges, #AthabascaU offers comprehensive mental health resources accessible 24/7. Whether you're navigating the uncertainties of student life or seeking academic assistance, Learner Support Services is here for you.

Let's explore how you can prioritize your mental well-being and academic success with AU's support.

I'm having a good day! 😀

This is great news! Keep it going by connecting with friends and family through phone, email, and social media. Try to set up a daily routine with activities such as connecting with someone, studying, or incorporating mindfulness, which many find helpful.

I am functioning well and keeping up with my studies! 🙂

Remember to keep a daily schedule of studies to keep you on track and set aside two hours a day per course. Connect with your tutor or academic expert if you need some support. And don’t forget to check in on your own mental health and wellness as part of your daily routine. Remind yourself you are doing well and keep positive about your studies and future opportunities!

Today is a bad day and I wouldn't mind reaching out to someone. 😕

AU is here to support you and your academic journey. If you need support with staying on track with your studies, you can book an appointment with AU Counselling Services.

I am feeling anxious and stressed. 😦

Anxiety is our normal reaction to stress. We all experience different levels of stress throughout our lives in response to life events, and this is okay.
During times of uncertainty, managing anxiety is important for our own mental health. Don’t forget AU students have access to resources 24/7. LINK IN BIO for full article and link to resources. #MentalHealthWeek #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
