Mental Health Week

October 7 - 12 is Queensland Mental Health Week, and UQLife is getting in the spirit with a week of activations across St Lucia campus from Tuesday to Friday. Queensland Mental Health Week's 2019 theme is Take Time for Mental Health, and each day we will be prompting you to take time out to focus on your wellbeing and mental health, and our Wellbeing Hub will be set up all week in the Great Court providing a place to drop by and take some time for yourself.

Gatton Campus is also celebrating with Mental Health Day on Wednesday 9 October, when Gatton Chill will get a Wellbeing makeover with live music, mindfulness colouring, sand art, yoga and the ever popular Popcorn Man.

Be YOUnique Launch

Celebrate YOU at the Great Court on Wednesday 9 October from 10am at the UQ Sport Be YOUnique launch. Join the mood-ment by tying your feelings beside thousands of others on UQ’s biggest Mood Wall, then grab your FREE* Be YOUnique pack to kick-start your 21 Days of You challenge

Screening: Inside Out

Join us for Nights on Knoll in the Great Court as we screen the Disney Pixar film Inside Out. After young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.
