What’s happening

"The thing I liked about the Managing Emotion modules was the fact that it felt applicable; it was relatable. The bite-sized lessons helped remind me that slowing down, focusing on my breathing and gathering myself can make a huge difference."

Thank you Rebecca for sharing your experience with our new research-led mental health program. This resource provides relevant and easy-to-apply tools for university students who might be struggling or feeling down.

We're so proud of #CurtinGrad Jamie Wallis OAM, who was awarded an Order of Australia this year for his service to the mining sector and our railway heritage.

'My time at Muresk Agricultural College [now called the Muresk Institute] gave me a solid grounding in farming practices that led to my employment with the Department of Agriculture,' says Jamie.

He is most well known for developing the industry-standard Wallis Air Core Drilling System - but since retirement has also ensured the memory and beauty of heritage railway infrastructure is kept alive for all West Australians to enjoy!

Happy Monday #CurtinGrads! Everyone having a great Reconciliation Week so far? 🥰

This week is another opportunity to celebrate the ways in which respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the wider Australian community are being built.

We had a great podcast recorded recently on the future of land restoration seen through an Aboriginal lens, feauturing our very own Professor Stephen Van Leeuwen (pictured here) - it's a good one! Listen in via the link in our bio.

Say hi to Mallika. 👋

Mallika is a psychology student at Curtin. She recently completed Managing Emotion, an online course that helps students look after their mental health.

'People tend to oversimplify feelings but emotions aren’t always easy,' says Mallika. 'Managing Emotion has helped me reframe how I look at situations and how I feel.’

💡 What is ‘re-framing’ in a mental health context? The essential idea is that the frame through which a person views a situation can determine their point-of-view and consequently their behaviour. For instance, some negative thought patterns that can be re-framed are ‘all-or-nothing’ thinking or a tendency to discount the positives.

‘Instead of focussing on the bad, I now try to evaluate things from other angles before having a gut reaction,’ Mallika explains. ‘Reframing has been really beneficial for how I look at the world around me.'
