University Mental Health Day

Posted 2 months ago

Come join our events as your mental health matters to us!

The importance of prioritising your mental wellbeing, today and every day.

Did you know? 1 in 4 students have a diagnosed mental health issue and 30% said their mental health has got worse since starting university (according to research by Student Minds).

This 13th March, University Mental Health Day aims to bring together the university community to discuss and open up conversations around mental health so that no one feels alone.

Our halls committee have organised several events for you to come along, look after yourself, your mental health, all while having fun and enjoying the company of your peers.
