Just before the Christmas break we received the good news that our bid for PLanT funding for the Arts Health team had been successful, and we welcome Art-Psychology student Emily Brewer to help us further develop the Elephant in the Room project, which explores difficult conversations about alcohol use.
PLanT provides awards for small collaborative projects between students and staff working together to identify problems, find solutions, and enhance teaching and learning at the University.
Emily will work with us to create more integrated and dynamic collaborative sessions between Art and Pharmacy students, with the aim to reduce stigma around conversations about alcohol use and promote creative responses to real-life issues that students face – both now and in their future careers.
