World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day will bring together the University, the Union of Students and local organisations to promote positive mental health and highlight the support available to students.

The event will take place at the Union’s OFGS space and will provide an opportunity for students to meet support services and find out more about the help available across the University and wider community. The aim is to create a welcoming environment where conversations about mental health feel normal, while making it easier for students to access support when they need it.

There will be a 'relaxation area', a range of activities to promote positive mental wellbeing and an opportunity to meet the advice team over a hot drink and pastry. The event will also promote the benefits of exercise and nature in mental health.
