Mental Health Awareness Week launches today and the aim is to get people talking about their mental health and reduce the stigma that can stop people from asking for help.

Hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, the theme this year is kindness.

To tie in with this, Kent Union are posting random acts of kindness on their website, so look out for them.

We will also be on Instagram LIVE on Wednesday at 12:00 on the University account. One of our students will be giving out tips on how to manage stress and anxiety during exam period.

You can also find some advice on how to manage your anxiety from this story we wrote and you can grab some more tips from this video.

Also Kent Union have lots of information on their De-Stress platform that acts as a hub for the advice, support and activities on getting the most out of the exam period and COVID.

Don’t forget Big White Wall which is a Care Quality Commission registered service recognised nationally through awards by the NHS and is a safe environment overseen by qualified therapists called Wall Guides.
