TODAY, 10th October 2016, is World Mental Health Day and I spent several hours in Pilkington building on campus helping to raise awareness of mental health needs amongst students.
DID YOU KNOW:
** Around 20% of the world's children and adolescents have mental disorders or problems.
** Globally, about 800,000 people commit suicide every year. Suicide is the leading cause of death in 15-29 year olds.
** Stigma and discrimination often prevents people from seeking mental health care.
There are some good support structures in place
at the Medway Campus. PLEASE DON'T WAIT until
you are in crisis. Seek help from a Listening Ear
member of staff, or a university counsellor
or the Chaplaincy Team.
We are here for YOU!!!
