University Mental Health Day (13 March 2025)
23/02/2025
Organised by: Student Minds and UMHAN (University Mental Health Advisors Network)
Join us on Thursday 13th March 2025 and let’s work together to ensure that no student is held back by their mental health.
#UniMentalHealthDay is an annual day to get the nation talking about student mental health and working together to make mental health a university-wide priority. No matter who you are, you can take part in this day.
Our vision and goal is that “No student should be held back by their mental health” but our research at Student Minds (Feb, 2023) found that:
- 1 in 4 students have a diagnosed mental health issue.
- 30% said their mental health has got worse since starting university1 in 4 students would not know where to go to get mental health support at university if they needed it
- Whilst awareness is increasing, a lot more can be done to address the existing gaps in knowledge, mental health literacy and the support available for students.
