Further information
The Fit for Study framework aims to reinforce the link between good health and academic performance and to encourage greater understanding of health promotion.
Programs
UWA's health promotion is conducted by the Health Promotion Unit in the Medical Centre. The team conducts health promotion activities across several health areas with a focus on Alcohol and other Drugs, Mental Health and Sexuality, Sexual Health and Relationships. We work to ensure UWA students are Fit For Study while undertaking their selected course at UWA.
Alcohol and other drugs
- Tertiary Alcohol Project (TAP) is designed to reduce risk-taking behaviour associated with excessive alcohol consumption by university students.
Mental Health
- Stress Less aims to raise awareness of issues that cause stress and anxiety among university students, and break the stigma associated with mental health.
- Mental Health First Aid enables you to learn how to recognise and provide support to others who may be experiencing mental health issues.
Sexual Health
- Sexuality, Sexual Health and Relationships Education (SHARE) aims to increase the knowledge and skills of UWA students around the topics of sexuality, sexual health and relationships, and make them more aware of, and comfortable in accessing, the related on and off-campus services available to them.
Volunteering
- Volunteering at events you’ll get first hand experience in the implementation of a health promotion project.
Training
- The Health Promotion Unit provides training for a range of its initiatives, including Responsible Service of Alcohol, Managing alcohol at events (previously event management), Sex and ethics, Respectful relationships and Mental Health First Aid.
Resources
We have brochures, booklets and posters on a variety of health topics including alcohol and other drugs, sexual health and mental health. Written information is an essential tool to support people in taking control of their health and being informed consumers.
