Program Abstract:
Swinburne University (Australia) has a strong commitment to providing a safe and healthy environment for our students in housing. Studies have shown that mental health, alcohol, behavioural issues, and social media addiction can significantly impact the safety and wellbeing of our students in on campus housing. The Health & Wellbeing and On Campus Housing Teams have collaboratively developed the Res.Com, Resilience and Healthy Ninjas programs to elevate students’ wellbeing and minimise risks for our residents.
