Student wellbeing facilitators

You'll find regular support from student wellbeing facilitators, who are current students trained in peer support.

Student wellbeing facilitators are available if you need help or advice—they can connect you with relevant services around the campuses, or chat about University life over a hot drink and a board game.

The student wellbeing facilitators can be found at The Bubble Kelburn and The Bubble Te Aro Edition.
