Mental Health and Wellbeing Day
The University Mental Health and Wellbeing Day for staff and students takes place this Wednesday in the Students’ Union.
The event includes a series of practical and informative workshops from 12-4pm on topics including stress busting, meditation, motivation, confidence, and sleep management.
The University Mental Health and Wellbeing Day is designed to value and promote positive mental health, and to think about and challenge the stigma that surrounds mental health issues.
