Wellbeing

In this time of uncertainty, FLSA wants to make sure all Flinders Law students are aware of their mental health and the negative effect on it the isolation measures currently in place may have.

Isolation and disruption of normal social interaction may heighten feelings of anxiety and loneliness. If you feel this is happening to you or someone you know, reach out. Set up FaceTime a Skype call, send a crazy Snapchat, send a text or even just initiate an old fashioned voice call with someone in your close circle. And please, if you feel you are struggling and need some extra help, look at the link to Beyond Blue's website below. It contains a list of useful mental health contacts.

There is no shame is saying you need a bit of help to get through this tough time.
Let's be here for ourselves and each other.

We're all in this together

FLSA places a large emphasis on mental and physical wellbeing. Each year, FLSA dedicates events to tackle issues surrounding the wellbeing of students and those in the legal profession.

FLSA encourages all law students to find time away from the textbooks. It is strongly encouraged that you routinely make time for ‘me time.’ This can be finding time to read a (non-law) book, catching up with friends for dinner, or joining a social sporting team. It is important to remember that life does and should exist outside of Flinders Law. Finding time to exercise, eat well, and getting sufficient sleep will not only help your physical and mental wellbeing, but will enhance your learning experience.

Remember, if you are ever struggling with your studies, please do not remain silent. Flinders provides a free and confidential Health and Counselling service for their students.
