This online session is part of the ITSS WinterFest 2026 programme; open to technical staff working in Higher Education and Research Education Institutions in the UK.

We will be exploring practical ways for technicians to sustain wellbeing and build resilience in demanding environments. Participants will reflect on their personal energy, stress triggers and coping strategies, and learn simple, evidence based tools to protect their mental health. The session creates space for shared experiences, peer learning and developing small, meaningful habits that can make a difference day-to-day.

At the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Recognise common sources of pressure and early signs of stress

• Apply practical tools and frameworks to build personal resilience and maintain wellbeing

• Identify individual strengths and resources that support positive coping and recovery

• Develop a personal wellbeing action plan to sustain energy and balance at work
