AWARE supports the Student Groups. 

These groups are run with the aim to provide advice, information and support to students.  They are an important part of the University of Bath Students' Union and exist to ensure that your experiences here at Bath are a lot of fun and exitement, not of loneliness and confusion.

 

Their two main fuctions are:

To act as a facilitator for students in that group to share mutal support, whether that be by sharing of information/support or socialising.

To act as a mechanism for students in that group to share their experiences thoughts and concerns about life as a student at Bath so this can be passed on to inform and initiate policy/practical changes through the the Students' Union and University.

If you are organising an event then please consult the Accessible Venues list to ensure that your event is accessible.  This list is not exhaustive and groups/individuals are advised to visit the venue before making a booking to ensure it meets their access needs.

AWARE is also closely linked with two support groups available to all University of Bath students.
 
SWEDA Self-Help Support Group - This group exists for those students who are currently having issues with food or are worried about housemates/partners/friends.  This group is run in association with Somerset and Wessex Eating Disorders Association.  This group is currently not running whilst we are waiting for a new facilitator to undergo training.  A start date will be published when known.  In the meantime should you have any questions or concerns about eating disorders please contact aware@bath.ac.uk or SWEDA.
 
Peace of Mind (POM) - This group is run to support student wellbeing through a facilitated self help group.  For anyone who is feeling isolated, stressed, having difficulties with relationships or struggling with alcohol or drug use.
