Healthy Campus
About
Healthy Campus MIC aims to support the health and well-being of all members of the college community through policy development, the provision of programmes and activities and the implementation of specific health and wellbeing strategies.
We provide many resources on health to both staff and students, and the office holds a wide selection of health and wellbeing material, which we make available as teaching practice aids and as general information sources.
We run different awareness days, programmes and workshops during the year. We provide confidential one-to-one support and advice on lifestyle change in the form of brief interventions. We can also refer you to relevant services in the community.
The Healthy Campus Office is located in G06, situated on the ground floor of the Foundation Building, and its opening hours are 9.30am-4.30 pm, Monday to Friday. As well as the Health Promotion Coordinator, there is also a Student Health Promotion Officer based in this office.
For more information, please see our Facebook page or Twitter feed.
Due to Covid-19 precautions, the office is closed until further notice. Please contact healthy.campus@mic.ul.ie

E-PUB
E-PUB is an online anonymous alcohol intervention programme, which was developed to encourage third-level students to reflect on their drinking habits. It is a personalised brief self-assessment programme. The programme is self-guided and provides quick, confidential feedback. The programme is designed to give the user personalised feedback that is designed to support and motivate individuals to adapt and, if necessary, to reduce their consumption patterns. The link to the e-PUB programme can be found here.
