Clinical and Wellbeing Services

Get Set Goal is a health & wellbeing service that forms part of the Health and Wellbeing Academy at the University of Huddersfield. We are committed to improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities by helping people achieve personal goals by making informed and positive lifestyle choices. 

We offer a range of free workshops and training sessions that are educational and interactive, involving active participation from the attendees. These facilitate a more dynamic and engaging learning experience to acquire new knowledge and skills. 

We have delivered many workshops to school age children designed to encourage participation, collaboration and exploration of ideas. 

The topics that we offer are: 

• Sleep hygiene  
• Staying healthy/healthy eating 
• Managing stress and anxiety
• Impact of physical activity on mental wellbeing 
• Relationship management and understanding emotions
• Coping skills
• Building resilience
• Self esteem
• Body image

We can adjust the topics to the needs of the children and are very flexible. The workshops are approximately 45 minutes in length with the children working in groups of 4-6.

The students are always supervised by a qualified health professional. 

All the students at the University of Huddersfield have had DBS checks, we will provide a letter of assurance confirming this.

Testimonial

I just want to take this opportunity to say that KS2 really benefited from the mental health assembly and Restart a Heart sessions. The students were polite, helpful, and enthusiastic and we were delighted with all of them. We are looking forward to the students coming again.

In collaboration with Yorkshire Ambulance Service, the Health and Wellbeing Academy are proud to be a part of Restart a Heart, a global initiative aiming to increase public awareness of cardiac arrests and the number of people trained in life saving CPR.

We deliver CPR training in a variety of settings for different audiences, including all ages.

Jason Carlyon, Community Engagement Manager Yorkshire Ambulance Service. 

Yorkshire Ambulance Service are proud to partner with Huddersfield University School of Human and Health Sciences.  As a result of this innovative collaboration students and staff from the Health and Wellbeing Academy are equipped and supported to deliver CPR training to local communities. We are grateful to the school and students for promoting the message of Restart a Heart and the lifesaving skill of CPR.  

Without exception the students involved in the programme have all demonstrated exemplary professionalism and respect. Students have been willing to take on activity outside their comfort zone, teaching and presenting to groups. They have all interacted and engaged with learners of varying ages at an appropriate level for the learners. The communication skills demonstrated by all students will certainly be an asset to them in their chosen professions. 

If you are interested in Restart a Heart training for your organisation, please email HWA@hud.ac.uk or fill in this form and a member of the team will be in touch.
