The workshop was an opportunity to introduce the Manchester six ways\u00a0Manchester six ways to wellbeing\u00a0<\/a>and understand how useful the framework is for PGRs. The session was attended by PGRs from across the University and facilitated by Student Support staff, as well as staff leadig the PGR Well Bee-ing Project.<\/p>\n

At the workshop PGRs took part in activity stations, each demonstrating actionable examples for bringing the six ways to wellbeing into everyday life. Activities included; sleep and relaxation tips shared over chamomile tea, getting back in contact with an old friend through sending a message and taking part in desk exercises.<\/p>\n

After visiting all stations PGRs were invited to share potential barriers, which could prevent them from engaging with the six ways. Answers were collected anonymously via Menti Meter, an online polling tool. A discussion was had around the barriers and PGRs were encouraged to make recommendations for possible solutions.<\/p>\n
