Ahead of MENtion It this year, read this blog to hear why we run this campaign and what we will be offering you throughout the month ahead. 

OVERVIEW 

Mental Health is often overlooked and stigmatised, with people often feeling pressured to hide their suffering, especially men. MENtion it is here to change that and aims to provide a space for men to feel able to better share their struggles with each other, support each other, and recognise that asking for help is a strength.

We will also be highlighting some experiences of students on our campus and how the have interacted with their Mental Health, as well as showing off the great work that our student groups do every year to champion Mental Health through Movember. Movember serves to remind us the importance of addressing men’s health, and to that end we will be hosting our very own Sport Tournament with Netball, Men’s Football, and Women’s Football at the end of the Month! Look out for all the ways you can support on social media and with student groups!  

Check out our full Events Calendar to see what we will be doing throughout the month! 

Lets make supporting each other a priority this month, so don’t be afraid to speak out! Creating a supportive environment for fellow students will help to improve the Mental Health of everyone on our campus. 

Let’s break the silence around men’s mental health. Just MENtion it.
