Throughout the module, explore how to develop positive stress management strategies and build a support network that can empower you and contribute to a sense of belonging.

This part of the course helps you to better understand some of the signs of anxiety and depression. This module unpacks unhelpful coping strategies and then prompts you to reflect on how you can develop better strategies and identify when and how to seek help from others (both trusted people in your life and professionals).

In this module, you explore the negative cycles that can lead to self-harming behaviours. The module offers some strategies you can add to your own wellbeing toolkit to manage distress and reduce the risk of self-harming.
