Celebrating World Mental Health Day at QAC.

Every year, World Mental Health Day is celebrated on the 10th of October. To celebrate, our students attended wellbeing workshops with Sarah M, QAC’s Mental Health First Aid lead, to talk about all things mental health.

The students discovered methods of self-care and stress relief, they learned to cultivate calmness and resilience and take control of their mental wellbeing. One student commented: “Learning about the 6 NHS good mental health benefits, other peer views and interesting positive explanations was my favourite part of the session”.

Students at QAC have access to a range of specialist support to help manage their mental health, from the Wellbeing Hub where our mentors and counsellors are based, to our Mental Health First aiders across campus.
