Keeping your brain active
Your brain is your most important organ. Taking care of and nurturing it can play a key role in improving your wellbeing.
Taking care of your brain
Keeping your brain active and supporting your personal growth is key to living well and maintaining a positive state of wellbeing. The good news is there are plenty of ways to make this happen day to day.
Reaching your full potential
All our brains are different. But for those of us who are neurodiverse, our brains share certain characteristics in how we process and interpret the world. And sometimes, this can create difficulties with ‘fitting in’ with the neurotypical way of doing things. We can provide support for diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodiverse community members, to help you work with your brain and reach your full potential in life and in work.
If you’re a student on your first engineering course and you think you may be neurodivergent, you may be eligible for a fully funded, fast-tracked diagnosis through our Engineering Neurodiverse Futures programme. We can also provide funding for adult engineers to access a diagnosis too. Find out more on our Neurodiversity Support page.
Improving your wellbeing
You can also access free online support to help you learn how to take care of your financial, mental and physical wellbeing. We can also put you in touch with people like you in our community if you feel you want to talk to someone about any issues you may be experiencing, to improve your emotional and mental health.
Engaging with your community
Volunteering for a good cause is also a great way to keep your mind active and enjoy new experiences. Check out our volunteering opportunities today.
