Wellbeing Teams group
Wellbeing Newsletter
The Wellbeing team are publishing a fortnightly newletter (with update newsletters on the weeks between). The newsletters provide a catch up of tips to remain healthy, an insight into what staff have been doing at home and cultural reviews.
How you can get involved:
Send your emails to a.milne@ucl.ac.uk or post in the Teams site.
- 1) Photos: Please send over photos to share what you’ve been up to. Maybe it’s a river walk, your tortoise getting up to mischief or just the cover of a good book you are reading.
- 2) Achievement of your week: Please share your successes, work or otherwise – did you have a paper accepted, finally finish that jigsaw or just get both children to not interrupt you for a whole hour. These can be serious or tongue in cheek 12
- 3) Failure of the week: It can be cathartic to share failures (in the words of Elizabeth Day “learning how to fail helps us succeed better”), feel free to send them over.
- 4) Live events: Lots of live events are happening on twitter, Instagram and more - please let me know and I can put them on the week’s ‘live event diary’
- 5) Submit your quiz team (see below) – for an EI quiz leadership board
- 6) Send over any good resources – send over any good resources you come across. I don’t want to overwhelm people so may not include them immediately but will do my best to incorporate them over the coming weeks.

The Positive app
