Respect at La Trobe

Have to vote on May 3 but feeling a bit daunted by the whole thing? We've got you covered with this short, engaging and interactive workshop. You'll learn what form is what, how to fill them out, and what the heck a preferential voting system means. We're not talking policies here, but you'll go away with some tools to better explore your voting options. This workshop is specially designed for people voting in their first federal election, but it is open to anyone who would like to build confidence in casting their vote. Participating in democracy isn't just your right, it's also essential to your wellbeing, as you get a say on the future of Australia and who represents you.

Mental Health Basics (Students) is a 2-hour training session to help increase student’s knowledge around mental health. Whether in the workplace, at home, or in social settings, Mental Health Basics empowers students to create a world where mental health is prioritised, stigma is reduced, and everyone feels valued and supported. With this training, students will be able to help build more resilient, empathetic and supportive communities and increase their employability. Mental Health Basics can also help students to recognise early signs of mental health challenges in themselves and seek support early which can help prevent personal and academic challenges. Students receive a certificate upon completion of the session and can add the training session to their resume.

This year for University Mental Health Day, we're inviting students to tell us about their wellbeing experiences to help guide the development of longer term strategies and actions associated with student mental health and wellbeing. Sign up for a short (45 minute) structured focus group to have your voice heard. All focus groups are hosted online. *please note that you will receive a short briefing and consent presentation at the beginning of the focus group. All attendees will be put in a draw to win one of ten $50 Coles vouchers.
