Lancaster University selected the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework, used by the Government and charities like Mind, the NHS, and other universities, as a basis to provide information and activities to help improve the mental health and wellbeing of its staff in our campus community.
This content on the Lancaster University Staff Wellbeing Site, which was created by one of our Partnerships and Business Engagement Team, has been adapted specially for our wider community of businesses, public and third sector organisations.
