What is University Mental Health Day?
University Mental Health Day 2017 will be taking place at universities across the UK on:
Thursday 2nd March 2017
Last year over 70 universities, including more than 3000 students and 650 members of staff, took part in University Mental Health Day 2016 in the #HeadsTogether campaign.
University Mental Health Day is a great opportunity to bring together all of the key players in student mental health. By being part of a national initiative, we can work together to reach a wider audience and make a noise about mental health on campuses across the UK. The day is also an opportunity to get more students involved in volunteering projects and events, helping to build up a larger base of students and staff to support future health promotion and campaigns.
