World Mental Health Day 2024

It’s World Mental Health Day 2024.  Celebrated every October 10th. Everyone is encouraged to come together and talk, showing that mental health matters. Check in on the people in your family and how they are doing.

Mental Health Support at the Library

“Here in the Library, we believe that looking after your physical and emotional health is just as important as your studies. We are committed to supporting positive mental health and wellbeing, and believe that the key to wellbeing is the care and balance of different aspects of our lives.” We have curated a collection of books and other resources to support the different areas of your well-being.  “Our collection covers a range of topics and includes guided self-help approaches to supporting mental health, personal development and achievement. You’ll find stories of resilience and recovery, discussions of family matters, and practical tools to help with the everyday realities of University life, such as finance and exam stress.”

Our wellbeing collections are available online

And on each campus library, all books are loanable.

Mental Health Support at the University

At Edinburgh Napier University, we understand things might not be “plain sailing”.

“Being at University is about finding your own way – but that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone” especially when things get difficult.  The Wellbeing and Inclusion team at the university are incredible. A team of  “professional staff are here to listen, offer support and guidance, and aim to point you in the right direction at every turn so you feel safe, supported, healthy and able to fulfil your potential”. The Counselling and Mental well-being team would like to highlight that “Our goal is to help you feel content, healthy, and well-supported. If you are facing challenges with your mental health, we are here to help.”

There is also free, online and anonymous support available through Togtherall and Silver Cloud.

The myNapier webpages provide information about all the services and support available to staff and students. And how to contact them.
