University Mental Health Day 2025

On 13 March 2025, the Student Wellbeing Service hosted events with Active Lives for University Mental Health Day. These events helped raise awareness of the support services we and other university services offer to help students with their mental health. Activities included pickleball, boccia, a bake sale to raise funds for the charity Student Minds and hosting 3 Therapets sessions. Whether it was meeting members of the student support teams including the Student Counselling Service, Chaplaincy, iThrive, Disability and Learning Support Service or relieving stress and anxiety through sport with members of Active Lives or petting the Therapets dogs, there was something for everyone.
