We are here for you…
Settling into university and living as part of a residential community can sometimes be challenging. That’s why we have a dedicated team who are here to help.
We’re also the only residential college to have a dedicated wellbeing professional as part of our staff. Julie Sparrow, our Counsellor and Wellbeing Programs Advisor, can assist with a range of health issues which impact your overall wellbeing.
Julie can help you work through issues relating to anxiety and stress, time management, relationships and loneliness, sexuality, alcohol and drug use, as well as grief and loss.
Health and wellbeing
During the year, we invite the UWA Health Promotion Unit to present at the College. This is one of the many things we do to help residents prioritise their wellbeing. You’ll learn about issues such as sleep, alcohol use, as well as relationships.
UWA also have an extensive recreation program as well as a fully-equipped gymnasium and aquatic centre. There is a Medical Centre on the UWA campus, and a wellbeing space called The Living Room, where you can access counselling and guidance.
Your RAs are essential resources for you while staying at Trin. Your Wing RAs are ready to help you with any matter, and a Duty Officer is on duty every night to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing.
