Finalist, Student engagement
About
The ActivateUTS Wellbeing Rep program is a collective of passionate UTS students who focus on the promotion of a safer UTS. Our general aim is to increase a culture of community safety, peer-to-peer support, and mental health literacy for and by UTS Students.
We work towards achieving this goal through events, activations, training programs and advocacy campaigns that focus on these key areas. Above all, this program is championed by our volunteers, known as the wellbeing reps; a network of visible student allies to promote mental health awareness and a sense of wellbeing from within the UTS student community. Using peer-to-peer support as a major tool in our mental health promotional efforts.
Top 3 learnings
- Meet students where they are at, rather than waiting for them to come to you.
- Making your program easy to engage with doesn’t reduce impact.
- Recognition is currency.
