Welcome to the UEL wellbeing portal for healthcare and humanitarian professionals
These are unprecedented times which affect us all.
Changes to the way we study and work, our lives and routine can be difficult or stressful. To help healthcare professionals who are struggling with their mental wellbeing, the Distance Learning MSc course Humanitarian Interventions is putting together a wellbeing portal to help professionals and members of the community in times of crisis.
We have brought together a range of internal and external resources. We hope that you will use these resources to your benefit.
Why not join in our online conversation by using #UELConnected on social media and share your social distancing story? And if you have any resources or tips you'd like to share on this portal, please get in touch by emailing us at communications@uel.ac.uk.
