Prioritise yourself this DUSA Self Care Week
Welcome to the final weeks of Trimester 1! We know this is a busy time as you prepare for final assessments, but it’s just as important to take regular breaks and look after your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. A little time to recharge can make a big difference.
No matter what wellness means to you, join us during DUSA Self Care Week (Monday 5–Friday 9 May) to take a breather! We’ll be running a series of events to help you de-stress and refocus on your self care as we approach the end-of-unit assessment period.
Check out the full Self Care Week program on the DUSA website for details of fun activities you can join, and we look forward to seeing you at an event soon!
