Assertiveness

Page written and resources collated by Jan Gurung, Senior Wellbeing Practitioner

If you learn to be assertive it can help your mental health. It can help you to express your opinions and feelings in a constructive way. For example it can help you say no to things, which aren’t good for your wellbeing and it can help in social situations and in group work.

Please note that whilst we hope that all of the resources below are useful, the Student Wellbeing Service does not endorse the opinions expressed by other parties.
