About the Programme
The NU Thinking programme has been introduced to provide students who are either struggling with low-level mental health or adapting to university life, with free physical activity and support from our staff. Students will be referred to the programme from the University's Counselling and Mental Health team, or the from the Students Union. Once referred, students meet with our Sport Development officer who will explain what the programme entails in more detail. The programme lasts for 3 months, and includes a free fitness membership, 3 personal training sessions, 3 nutritional advice sessions, and fortnightly meetings with the Sports Development Officer who will be their point of contact throughout the programme. This whole well-being approach has been developed to enable students to get active how they want to, whether this is through the gym, swimming or even walking regularly.
