University Mental Health Day.

So, this Thursday (March 7th) is University Mental Health Day.

You can click on the following links to get your own resources, find out about events taking place throughout the country and information about how to get involved.

I am hoping that all Uni's from around the country will be getting involved, but I know for a fact that Solent University are and here is what they're offering on the day.

This year's theme is 'Use Your Voice'.

"We all have mental health, we all have a voice, we all have stories to share. Your voice can shape the future of mental health. Join us as we inspire conversations, take action and create change through different activities around campus.

In the Atrium from 12 – 2pm there will be a variety of information stands from external organisations, Solent staff and students from Applied Human Nutrition and Psychology. There will also be activities such as head and neck massages, Reiki, mindful colouring and asset mapping."

Sessions running throughout the day are:
