What's on offer?

Being part of a group, sharing and tackling issues with others in a similar situation, can often be a highly effective way to address common difficulties.

Wellbeing Workout Sessions - in collaboration with LSE LIFE

Wellbeing Workout sessions are one-off sessions, 45 – 90 minutes, with a focus on building psychological wellbeing skills to help you navigate life at LSE. It’s also a chance to meet other people in safe space and share your experiences and tips. You are welcome to sign up to as many as you like.

Flex your mental muscles and practise emotional conditioning at our Wellbeing Workout sessions. Just as a balanced physical routine keeps your body in peak condition, our diverse weekly workshops will tone your mind, strengthen your spirit, and boost your overall wellbeing. From stress-busting arts therapy to tips on coping with deadlines, you’ll experience various forms of ‘circuit training’ for your inner self. No sweatbands required – just bring your willingness to try something new. Join us at an upcoming Wellbeing Workout session… and get fit from the inside out!


If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via student.wellbeing@lse.ac.uk. We look forward to seeing you!

Students Talk About Loss

Students Talk About Loss are groups specifically for students meeting regularly within university campuses. University can be such a challenging place when you are grieving, you might be living away from home or family and not able to visit important places. We hope Students Talk About Loss meet ups can be places of support, community and finding joy among the grief.
