Campaigns
Don’t’ go ‘bananas’!
29th February – 25th April
One in four students in the United Kingdom will have mental health difficulties at some stage in their lives. And despite the fact that you are more likely to murdered by someone you know than somebody with mental health difficulties, there is still a lot of usage of terms such as nutter, psycho and dangerous when referring to people suffering from these serious complaints, particularly in the popular presses. As well as attempting to debunk these myths, we at the University of Wolverhampton Student Union are running a campaign in order to promote methods in order to maintain good mental health.
We are running the campaign across all four campuses during the dates above. There shall be postcard tips on maintaining good mental health and debunking popular myths about mental health, recipe booklets encouraging you to eat a healthy and balanced diet, stress toys, a workshop on managing your time and exam preparation, details on organisations inside and outside the university on where to go should you have any difficulties. However, it’s not simply about your diet, and making sure that you manage your time properly, we want you to have some fun also and do things that you enjoy doing such as sporting activities, we have some tokens so that some of you can enjoy free exercise classes in the week beginning the 10th March (Contact ? for details of this) and nights out too so Honeytrap and Paparazzi are on side too. In conjunction with Sport Relief the university is holding a sport relief mile at the Walsall campus, so you can run either 1, 3 or 6 miles for the charity, and enjoy the event with stands on Sunday 16th March, and maybe even try out a new activity. For any more details and information about these events, please contact diversity@wolvesunion.org or come in and see a member of the executive committee in the meet the exec room just off the main student union concourse, and check out the other articles in Crywolf magazine.
