Upcoming Event at University of Wolverhampton’s Student Union
These fantastic posters were designed by dedicated social science and graphic design students at the University of Wolverhampton, who will be submitting the amazing work as part of their upcoming assessments.
The posters kindly promote SUIT and are designed to raise awareness of addiction and addictive behaviours, to break the cycle of stigma and encourage positive conversations between students, tutors, and researchers who may be experiencing the pressures and isolation that can be related to studying or working in academic settings.
If you are a student or staff member at the University of Wolverhampton, look out for the brilliant poster campaign, and save the date on Wednesday 6th May, at the university’s Student Union. SUIT will be hosting a gathering to open up conversations about addiction support
When: Wednesday 6th May 1:00pm until 3:00pm
Where: University of Wolverhampton, Student Union Luna Lounge
What: An informal gathering to introduce SUIT to students, researchers, and staff. How we can help, what we do, other organisations we work with, how to refer, how you can get involved in our work.
Welcome: Open to students, researchers, & staff at the University of Wolverhampton who may have questions about addiction and recovery, lived or living experience, or be an affected family member.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
YOGA WITH CATE in WOLVERHAMPTON
Yoga has been part of my life since my twenties — sometimes front and centre, sometimes in the background — but always there when I’ve needed it. It’s helped me through tough emotional times, supported physical recovery when physio felt like a chore, and continues to guide me toward the kind of life I actually want: grounded, calm, and real. It helps me keep choosing what truly supports me, rather than slipping back into old patterns or chasing fleeting highs.
Cate is a beautiful human and we want to say thank you for her continued support and patronage towards SUIT.
