Mental Health Awareness Month

  • Date: Wed, 1 - Fri, 31 Oct 2025
  • Location: Various

Your Wellbeing, Your Way, is inspired by the evidence-based framework  to introduce five simple and effective actions that can improve your psychological and emotional health. Just like physical fitness, mental fitness can be strengthened through small, everyday habits. A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body, and these five ways can help you feel happier, cope with stress, and support long-term wellbeing.

During Mental Health Awareness Month in October, students can engage with each of the 5 Ways through practical on-campus events and activities, giving them the chance to try different strategies and discover what works best for their own wellbeing.
