More from mental health week

Following our entry on Images from Mental Health Week:

Students Cara, Jess, Kayleigh, Laura, Matt and Musa  from Adult, Child, Learning Disability and Mental Health Nursing  met with almost 400 young people and staff in 8 schools and colleges  across the Humber last week to raise aspirations alongside awareness of careers in health and social care.

Invited to tell their personal stories the students inspired and enlightened, receiving fantastic feedback and invitations to return. One group of students just around the corner  at St Mary’s College were so impressed they sent the nursing  students own story!a thank you card to say they had changed their lives with new career directions…

As it was also Mental Health Awareness week self image, confidence and self esteem featured strongly in the sessions…… the pictures tell their own story:

Images from Mental Health Awareness week

Our clinical psychology trainees were raising the profile of mental health issues during the past week. The theme was mindfulness this year. They held a cake sale and staff visited the university library for a modest flash mob event, encouraging students and staff to take a moment, to be mindfully in the moment. Our HOLD colleague Tricia Boulton took some beautiful pictures of the group in and outside the library - see below:
