  5. SAFER COMMUNITY Students and staff are encouraged to contact the Safer Community staff if they: • Feel threatened or unsafe • Have concerns about a person’s behaviour • Are worried about a person harming themselves or someone else • Wish to clarify issues of responsibility, confidentiality or duty of care Safer Community telephone: 9905 1599 Email: safercommunity@adm.monash.edu.au

  6. BALANCE • You should NOT give up all your recreational interests and activities. • Keep up with friends, exercise and relaxation • LIMIT alcohol and avoid other substance use • Try not to overload on sugar and caffeine – eat regular small meals, have water handy and try herbal teas • LIMIT internet use – it is easy to use this as a distraction • If you decide to take a break – TAKE it and don’t keep worrying about what you SHOULD be doing MORE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER.

  7. PROCRASTINATION • It’s rarely about laziness, but more likely to do with avoidance of anxiety • The more you procrastinate, the worse it gets (less time, more work = more anxiety) • Accept that you can cope with not always feeling good – it is only a feeling • If you lose motivation, you need to keep doing something – it won’t just happen by itself!

  8. ASKING FOR HELP It is NOT a sign of weakness to ask for help when it is needed – it is considered appropriate behaviour and supported by the University SO - DO NOT let things get bad before you talk to someone (counsellor/GP/academic advisor) about what you are thinking and feeling. Even if it is not directly study-related, we know that what affects you personally, affects you academically.

  9. If you want to talk to someone: Uni Counselling Service is a good place to start. Most campuses have daily ‘drop-in’ sessions for new clients, further sessions by appointment CLAYTON 9905 3156 CAULFIELD 9903 2500 A H CRISIS Counselling (all campuses) 1300 350 359
