Happy New Year

Happy New Year! To start of 2013 here is a bumper edition of  Q & As from ‘Go Ask Alice’, the website that answers any questions about any aspect of health and wellbeing without blushing or moralizing. 

Go Ask Alice is an American project but many of the subjects dealt with are pertinent to Irish students and can be dealt with at NUI Galway.  These are the articles that riskybizzness did not get a chance to use at the end of last year as the focus was on exam detress and winter health.

If you do have problems or worries you feel you would like to talk about confidentially, contact Cindy Dring, Health Promotion Officer for NUI Galway at 091-492048. Alternatively e-mail her at cindy.dring@nuigalway.ie or just drop in to Aras Ni Eimhigh. 

Here then are the Go Ask Articles. there will something of interest for everyone. Enjoy!
