Keeping Mentally Healthy
Date:
Doing a PhD can be lonely at times, but COVID has intensified the isolation and uncertainty experienced by PhD students. The SICSA Universities provide support through counselling, mentoring and other mental health services. But, at the moment these services are in heavy demand and access and provision are disrupted by COVID. The SICSA PhD Peer Support Network provides additional support from within our PhD community. In this plenary session the network will outline what it does, how to access it and how we can all contribute to our mental health.
