In this week’s mindhamok podcast episode we are talking about sexual harassment and the impact this has on students. Harassment shapes our experience as humans, especially when we belong to minority groups. The wonderful Camille will be talking us through her experience as a university student in the UK and any advice she has for those of us who have experienced sexual harassment (or harassment of any kind) - an important discussion within our diversity, equity and inclusion priority.

Not only does harassment effect our day-to-day lives on our university or campus, but it effects our minds. At mindhamok, we want students to feel safe and have someone to talk to whenever they’re ready. Please know that there are people here for you. 

So for now, welcome to mindhamok’s safe space. Put your mind in a hammock and remember that you aren’t alone.

Our recent blog post on 'The Aftermath of Covid-19' reflects on the effects of the pandemic and why we might not be ready to go back to "normal".  And on this episode of the mindhamok podcast, psychotherapist Marina Tricard talks us through what we can do if we are still feeling the effects of the pandemic. 

Are you still anxious to go out? Do you not enjoy socialising like you used to? Maybe going back to "normal" isn't as easy as the media tells us... maybe it's time to re-write our own "normal" and go at our own pace. 

So for the next twenty minutes, sit back, relax and put your mind in a hammock... you've got this.
