Welcome to Real Talk, the QUT Student Services Podcast. Each episode, we dive into real-life challenges, share practical coping strategies, and interview experts who offer valuable insights on managing stress, anxiety, and the pressures of academic life. Tune in, take a breath, and let's build a healthier, more resilient university experience together. Sarah Winkleman is a Clinical Psychologist and counsellor at QUT Student Services.

In this episode, Sarah interviews two ADF veterans, Sam and Trent, about their experiences transitioning from service to study at QUT. Sam and Trent share their tips for making the process as smooth as possible, and share the support services they have found helpful on the journey.
