Don’t forget, Mental Health Awareness Week is taking place from 10–16 May.
The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the services and support available for students both at the University and across the city.
Throughout the week, you can get involved with a range of online and in-person activities. You can visit Student Life at a range of locations, go on a wellness walk with Sport & Wellbeing, or participate in their Scavenger Hunt.
There are still spaces available on the following events:
