University of Liverpool Wellbeing Oasis

The University’s Wellbeing Oasis contains information on University wellbeing services, wellbeing support, online resources and Feel Good February for all staff and students. The resources on this Wellbeing Oasis are not designed to replicate this information, but to provide specially curated resources that our research staff have told us are helpful to their wellbeing. 

As part of supporting a positive research environment, the University recognises that staff wellbeing and work/life balance are beneficial to both individuals and their families, and to the University as a whole. Good wellbeing supports not only individual health and satisfaction, but also collaboration, creativity and productivity creating a workplace and culture where researchers feel connected, valued and able to thrive. 

Wellbeing is a shared responsibility across the entire organisation, and the resources on these pages are intended for individual researchers seeking support, and supervisors and research leaders to better support colleagues within their teams.  

Get the most out of the Wellbeing Oasis by using our Wellbeing Self-Reflection Log to commit to lasting change.
