Mind Matters is a first for the UFS. It is a mental-health publication for students aimed at highlighting what matters most when it comes to your mind, life, and well-being. Some sections share how individuals in the top echelons of the UFS take care of their minds. Other sections focus on how to support your grey matter (i.e. your brain) and, consequently, improve your general functioning. Some parts discuss matters related to careers, well-being, finance, and self-development. We also provide news and resources that might matter to you.
Whatever your fancy, Mind Matters focuses primarily on why the health of your mind matters. Our minds and brains are the most powerful intelligence or apparatuses on the planet. A power like this needs to be wielded wisely, otherwise we may suffer much from our own neglect of our mental health. It’s not always easy, but it is important!
Mind Matters was possible due to the cumulative contributions, inputs, and work of numerous UFS professionals, especially within
Student Affairs. We are grateful and proud of each person involved. We endeavour to honour these efforts by continually improving and developing Mind Matters. Your feedback and voices are most welcome and will continue to inform what we do next.

The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently presented a free course on resuscitation for teachers. The aim was to provide them with practical experience in life support in order for them to have the knowledge and self-confidence to supply learners with life support when they are in life threatening situations where heart arrest is involved. The teachers receive training over weekends in small groups and appropriate situations such as drowning are for example being handled . The ultimate goal is to involve all the schools in Bloemfontein and the Free State. Here are, from the left: Mr Jakob Moahlodi, Dr Edwin Turton, lecturer at the UFS Department of Anesthesiology, Ms Bertie Roos, Ms Biana Meyer, and Mr Joseph Nkahle, a teacher at Navalsig Secondary School in Bloemfontein.
