Workshops
The Counselling and Mental Health Service also offers a wide range of workshops, which are bookable through their website here (http://www.counsellingservice.manchester.ac.uk/workshops/).
Show Up and Study! (on campus)
The purpose of these sessions is to bring students together to revise or prepare for upcoming assignments. Not only does this guarantee you a revision space during the busy exam and assessment period, but the session also aims to offer the opportunity to work quietly and independently in a supportive, collaborative and motivating environment with other students. The session will run over two hours and there will be 10-minute breaks scheduled in between revision slots of 30 minutes to help keep you motivated and on-task. At the end of the session, there will also be time to reflect on and share your revision experiences with other students and consider how we might best support one another.

Generating and Communicating Ideas (on campus)
Do you often feel limited by the assessment formats you work with? Have you got ideas from your learning and research but are finding it challenging to communicate these?
In this session, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the different assessment formats and ways of working that have or havent worked for you. This includes but is not limited to written, visual, audible and immersive mediums. You will get to explore why these have or havent worked for you and as a result, look at new and existing ways that you can work with in your assessments and studies going forwards. You will also have the opportunity to practise some of the different techniques discussed in the workshop and think about how you can implement these in your own studies.
Attendees of this workshop may want to bring a digital device such as a laptop or smartphone to use for the activities, though this is not essential. Laptops will also be provided.
