STUDENT MINDS
LOOK AFTER YOUR MATE GUIDE
Student Minds "is the UK’s student mental health charity. We empower students and members of the university community to look after their own mental health, support others and create change. Together we will transform the state of student mental health so that all in higher education can thrive."
Student Minds have produced a campaign to give students the knowledge to understand a little about what their friend or flatmate is going through, the skills to support their friend to the best of their ability and the confidence in your ability to talk about the difficult things and support their friend through the difficult times.
Our website provides more information about specific mental health difficulties, and has links to where students can get further support - VISIT WEBSITE
As part of the ‘Look After Your Mate’ campaign, we produced a Guide for Friends. Take a look at the guide for tips on starting a conversation with a friend, keeping the conversation going, understanding their friend’s diagnosis and much more!
