University life is full of opportunities that you must take advantage of. But none of these should come at the expense of your health and wellbeing. UJS continuously advocates for mental health awareness, driven by policy, through workshops, collaborations and campaigns. UJS is here to help you work towards a healthier, happier university environment both physically and digitally. Contact Eve, the mental health sabbatical officer, for more information.

World Mental Health Day 2021
On World Mental Health Day, we launched a project that puts you, our students, at the centre. We want to spotlight your experiences and create a virtual community where we can all support one another. We know that there have been many long-lasting consequences of the pandemic and want to give you a space to address them. Whether lockdown made you feel a bit low, you lost someone close to you or it exacerbated an existing mental health problem, tell us about it. Write, draw, talk about your feelings so together we can create an open conversation about our mental health.
