Mental Health and You

With help from some special guest speakers, Lancaster University Women+ in Sport Society (LUWiSSoc) will be hosting an event focussed around opening up a vital conversation about mental health. This topic impacts each one of us yet is still too often left unspoken, whether you are student or staff please feel free to join us! Mental health is as crucial to our well-being as physical health, affecting how we think, feel, and navigate the world around us. However, stigma, misunderstanding, and fear often prevent open conversations, leaving people feeling isolated or ashamed. We will also bring awareness to resources and tools that are available to you at Lancaster University. Together, we can build a community that encourages empathy, compassion, and growth.
