Aleyna Bahar

Hi Friends, 

I am Aleyna and I am your current welfare officer, which has given me great insights on what this role entails and how important it is. So, here is what I already implemented and what I am planning on adding: 

• Welfare Check-Ins 
  • I know a society can only be successful if the members are happy, at the end of the day we all pay for a membership. I implemented check-ins to ensure your satisfaction with the committee by sending check-in forms at least once every half term. I was and will be here to bridge the gap between the members and committee!
• Wellbeing Services Overview
  •  Navigating and accessing wellbeing services at UCL can be hard, so I created a document that gives the members an overview of the wellbeing services on-hand and makes it easy for everyone to get the support they need. 
• Personal Support 
  • I know being welfare officer entails more than just sending check-in forms in group chats every once in a while. That's why I was and will be available to all members to guide you to the right wellbeing services and give you the support you need, just contact me directly!  
• Exam Season Toolkit 
  • Exam season can be stressful, as welfare officer, I would prepare a tool-kit of suggestions on how to cope with stress and stay happy and healthy!
• Welfare Drop-In Sessions 
  • Sometimes it is best to put a face to the name, so I propose starting welfare drop-in sessions, in which members can come and can be directed to available wellbeing resources!
