Student Wellness Events at Eduvos: September to November 2026.
Post by Eduvos, August 21, 2026.
When you think about student life, do you think about the pressure, the excitement, or a bit of both?
Being a student involves navigating a lot, between lectures, friendships, achievements, assignments, exams,
and figuring out what comes next. And while there are both ups and downs along the way, it's just as important
to make time for yourself and look after your wellbeing.
Over the next few months, our 12 campuses across South Africa will be hosting several wellness activities
and events to help you connect and have important conversations.
Before then, if you need help, or know someone who needs help, please call our 24-hour student helpline at
0800-008-206 or reach out on WhatsApp at 087 163 2025. Our student helpline, supported by our partnership
with the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), offers free, private, and compassionate
support from trained counsellors.
Here's what's coming up.
September: Move Your Body, Support Your Mind.
In honour of Suicide Prevention Month, Eduvos is focusing on the theme "Move your Body, Support your Mind."
Our wellness events for this month aim to raise awareness of the positive impact that regular physical activity,
healthy study habits, quality sleep, and help-seeking behaviours can have on mental wellbeing.
Campus-specific event dates and activities for September will be shared within each campus community across all campuses.
October: A Month for Mental Health and Holistic Wellness.
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, our campuses will be bringing students together through our Wellness Summit,

September to November: Peer Support Groups.
Looking after your wellbeing often starts with having someone to talk to. From September through to November,
our campuses will host Peer Support Groups to give you the opportunity to connect with your peers, share experiences,
and talk about common challenges that come with being a student.
These support groups will be facilitated by trained Wellness Ambassadors and offer a confidential and judgement-free space.
Campus-specific dates and information for Peer Support Groups will be shared within each campus community across all campuses.
Make Time for Yourself.
Don't wait until things become overwhelming to start prioritising your wellbeing. Sometimes, something as simple as taking a
break or talking to someone can bring a sense of relief. So, as the year gets busier, make sure you take some time for
yourself too. Check out what's happening on your campus, bring a friend along, and get involved.
