Workshops, Groups & Events

by the Student Wellbeing Service

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.

What's on offer?

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.

Groups provide a more in-depth focus on emotional wellbeing in a supportive and confidential environment. Some (but not all) groups are “closed” which means that they run over 3 consecutive weeks and we ask you to sign up for all 3 weeks. Groups will either be online, or in-person. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via student.counselling@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.
