This week’s episode is about navigating grief in university. While December can be a fun month with the holidays and wintery weather, it can also be a really hard month, especially for those who have lost someone close to them. On today’s episode, I’m chatting to students who have faced grief and the Student Grief Network to create an open conversation about grief and how we can maintain wellbeing for ourselves and others around us who are experiencing grief at university.

Our first episode is all about introductions- introductions to the podcast, the AHC Wellbeing Project, their interns as well as your host, Millie Cairns (she/her). We'll be uploading monthly episodes surrounding different wellbeing issues and topics in a way that hopefully feels accessible and relatable. While we'll be chatting about universal worries like finding friendships, imposter syndrome and grade anxieties, we want to utilise this podcast to talk about experiences unique to those from marginalised backgrounds and how maintaining wellbeing may be harder for those from marginalised communities. While my podcast may not be able to give the answers I hope to at least create discourse around these issues and an open discussion on the nuances of wellbeing, because sometimes as university that can feel really hard. 

This podcast is a part of AHC Wellbeing Project which aims to create internships for students in the AHC faculty surrounding wellbeing for students and staff.
