Event Summary:
Join us and let’s celebrate ‘Mental Health Awareness Week’ 10 - 16 May 2021, themed around ‘Nature’.
Due to demand, we are back bringing together another experienced and inspiring mental health community-led panel who will be openly discussing and exploring mental health from various perspectives and also the importance of ‘Nature’ for their overall wellbeing.
The pandemic has no doubt put a huge amount of extra strain on all students across the world, leading to a shocking increase in students suffering in silence with mental health and emotional wellbeing problems. Now more than ever, mental health must always be seen as a university-wide priority - so let’s start now, together.
Come along and be inspired to challenge mental health stigma and discrimination, start conversations, take action and create and be the change for today for a better future.
