GCU's next wellbeing event

Paws against stress on the 23 April

GCU Student Wellbeing is delighted to invite students to meet with the lovely therapets and volunteers from the Canine Concern Scotland Trust.

We encourage you to take a short break from your studies and look after your own wellbeing by joining us on campus for this event.  It takes place on Tuesday, 23 April from 10.30am.

There are eight sessions to choose from, just sign up to your preferred time and join a small group of four students for a 15-minute session. This is your chance for some quality time with these very clever dogs.

During the session, you also have the option to chat with the volunteer to find out more about life with a therapet.

If you have any questions about this, please contact counselling@gcu.ac.uk
