UMHD is held to change the narrative and raise awareness that mental health should be seen as a priority in the university community, seeking to positively change the future of student mental health.
At the London campus, various sessions and initiatives are taking place from 10.30am-3.30pm, which are all free to attend (although some do require booking in advance).
From doggy de-stressing to face painting and awareness stalls and raffles, there will also be presentations, techniques for mindfulness and inspiring lectures available to go along to.
All of the events will take place on the ground floor at Loughborough University London on Thursday 5 March. To find out more, visit the dedicated event listing online.
At the Loughborough campus, LSU Welfare and Diversity’s Association HeadsUp! will be hosting a Creative and Wellbeing Fayre on the same day from 12.30pm-3pm in Cognitos (in the Union Building).
There will be information points from various support services and associations present, as well as freebies, creative activities and student-designed postcards for sale, with all profits going to Mind.
HeadsUp! is a student-led group promoting positive mental health and wellbeing, raising awareness of mental health issues and providing support across campus.
