Thrive™: Helping you realise your potential

Two students, sat side by side, smiling at each other.

Thrive™ is an interactive in-person programme, delivered by an experienced team here at Warwick, to support students with their confidence, resilience and agency.

Open to undergraduates and postgraduates, Thrive™ is free to attend.

Thrive™ can help you:

  • Increase your self-awareness through understanding your strengths and values
  • Grow your confidence through exploring boundary setting and assertiveness
  • Feel empowered, overcome self-doubt and increase resilience
  • Push beyond your comfort zone
  • Make connections with like-minded students, start to build a community of support

Thrive is a neuroinclusive space. If you would like to have a 1-1 chat with Sarah Bennett to find out more, please get in touch via .
