<\/a><\/h3>\nAustralia\u2019s Biggest Morning Tea is a great opportunity for colleagues to get together to share a cuppa and some healthy and delicious food, while raising funds for those affected by cancer. Every dollar raised helps to fund more cancer research, prevention programs and support services.<\/p>\n
In 2017, supporters helped raise a staggering $11.9 million.<\/span>\u00a0We\u2019d love to top this incredible total in 2018 to over $13 million!<\/p>\n
Get involved this year and do your part by organising a morning tea in your work area. While the official day for the morning tea is Thursday 24th May, events can be held throughout May and June.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Mindfulness for Stress and Mental Health-\u00a0Parkville campus
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/edit.blogs-monash-edu.salsa.hosting\/timeout-newsletter\/files\/2016\/05\/mental-health-mindfulness-exercises-02.jpg\")
<\/a><\/h3>\nMindfulness can be described as a form of meditation but also a way of living and working. One of the main reasons for the rise of interest in mindfulness in this fast-paced, high-pressure modern world is because of its ability to help people to manage stress and enhance mental and emotional wellbeing. This interactive and experiential presentation will explore how mindfulness meditation and a series of simple cognitive strategies based on mindfulness can help reduce stress and foster greater resilience and better mental health.<\/p>\n
