Mental Health Awareness Week 2025

Mental Health Awareness Week, 12-16 May, is being celebrated across campus, with the theme this year focusing on the power and importance of community.

Stalls are being set up across campus throughout the week, where you can discover how community connections can enhance mental wellbeing. Engage in interactive activities, gather valuable resources, and connect with others who share a passion for mental health. Together, let’s break the stigma and create a supportive environment for everyone.
