+Two Friends

Did you know that having two close friends makes a real difference to your mental health and wellbeing? That’s why the Wellbeing and Belonging team is encouraging you to connect meaningfully through the +TWO FRIENDS campaign. Whether you already have two, or you are on your way to building new friendships, we’ve got you!

At Western, we believe in lifting each other up and making wellbeing part of our everyday life. So, we’re inviting you to take a moment to check in with two friends. Reach out with a kind message, plan a catch-up, or share something creative that shows you care. Maybe it’s a quick meme, a handwritten note, or a spontaneous voice message - whatever feels right for you.

Meet our friends Happy, Meeka, and Jerry – three friends who help us navigate the highs and lows of friendships. Join us on Instagram to follow along on their journey of wellbeing through friendship!

Care
It’s not just hugs. It’s sending them that one hilarious reel when they’re spiralling.
