HARTPURY_WELLBEING_BOOKLET_2022

Being young and studying at college or university is all about having new experiences, but don’t feel pressurised into doing something you feel uncomfortable with. Maybe you’ve started smoking because you’re stressed or you might have tried drugs, like cannabis, because your friends have too. But if you understand how these things affect you, you’ll be able to make informed choices for yourself. Drugs can seriously affect your health and the way you see the world around you. They can lead to depression, loss of judgement and even death. If you are worried that you have a problem or are worried about a friend - talk to someone you trust who can put you in touch with people who can help. Clean Sport - Hartpury was the first institution to achieve the elite level accreditation from the University Accreditation Scheme from the UK Anti-Doping Agency. We have adopted the UK Anti-Doping and World Anti- Doping (WADA) position that cheating, including doping, in sport is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport, undermining the otherwise positive impact of sport on society.
