University Mental Health Day has been held every March since 2008 and has grown to cover campuses across the UK, with mental health activist group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.studentminds.org.uk\/about-us\/\">Student Minds<\/a> officially becoming involved since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>So, to mark this year\u2019s University Mental Health Day, we\u2019re going to talk a little about this year\u2019s UMHD theme and tell you about all the ways that Edinburgh Napier can support your mental health during your time studying with us.<\/p>\n<h2>This Year&#8217;s Theme<\/h2>\n<p>Every year, a new theme is selected to focus that year\u2019s University Mental Health Day events. For example, 2024 was centred around the theme of anxiety, with an emphasis on the scenarios students encounter that can cause them to feel anxious, and discussing the techniques students can learn to manage their anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s theme is human connection, focusing on the issue of university students reporting increased feelings of isolation, and the role of student communities in combatting these feelings of isolation. Despite how large the student population is, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/new-government-research-shows-lonely-seems-to-be-the-hardest-word-for-students\">government reporting<\/a> indicates that many students have experienced increased feelings of loneliness over the past few years, along with a fear that they would be judged by others if they express these feelings. This is despite the same government studies indicating that the vast majority of students wouldn\u2019t want to judge others for feeling lonely, highlighting how important it is to reassure students of the support they can get in their own community.<\/p>\n<h3>University Mental Health Day at Edinburgh Napier<\/h3>\n<h4>SMHA<\/h4>\n<p>Here at Napier, we have our Student Mental Health Agreement (SMHA) created in collaboration between our Counselling and Wellbeing staff and the members of the Edinburgh Napier Student Association (ENSA) to lay out the goals and activities for both teams and to guarantee the mental health services the university provides to the student population.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn about the SMHA (and read it for yourself!) on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napierstudents.com\/wellbeing\/mentalhealth\/mentalhealthagreement\/\">NapierStudents website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The current edition of the SMHA has been in place since 2024, ensuring that the university offers a range of services through our Counselling &amp; Wellbeing team to support students during their studies. These include counselling services, single session therapy services where students can discuss a specific issue they are having, as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy aimed at helping you tackle unhelpful thought patterns.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn all about these services on the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.napier.ac.uk\/wellbeing-support-and-inclusion\">MyNapier Wellbeing, Support &amp; Inclusion page<\/a>, where you\u2019ll also find contact details for our Wellbeing support teams and links to pages that will explain our wellbeing resources in greater depth.<\/p>\n<h4>Togetherall<\/h4>\n<p>Also, as part of the SMHA, the university provides all our students with access to <a href=\"https:\/\/my.napier.ac.uk\/Wellbeing-Support-and-Inclusion\/Counselling-and-mental-wellbeing\/Togetherall\">Togetherall<\/a>. A 24\/7 online community where you\u2019ll have access to free online support, allowing you to talk with others and receive advice in a safe and anonymous environment.<\/p>\n<p>Fittingly for this year\u2019s theme, one of the main goals of the 2024-2026 SMHA is to help nurture a sense of community and belonging in the student population through increasing participation in student-run events and student clubs\/societies.<\/p>\n<h4>Clubs &amp; Societies<\/h4>\n<p>Speaking from experience, becoming involved in a university club or society can be a great way to connect with students who have similar hobbies and interests to you. Some of the greatest friendships I have come from my own participation in different university clubs during my undergraduate studies. I\u2019ve no doubt that many of you who aren\u2019t currently involved in any clubs would benefit from doing so.<\/p>\n<p>You can see what clubs and societies are on offer at Napier at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napierstudents.com\/societies\/\">ENSA website<\/a>. I\u2019d also recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eusa.ed.ac.uk\/events\">ENSA Events Calendar<\/a> to see if there are any upcoming student events that might catch your interest.<\/p>\n<h4>The Library<\/h4>\n<p>Additionally, we have our <a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.napier.ac.uk\/wellbeing\">Wellbeing Collection<\/a> at each of our campus libraries, with books advising you on how to look after your mental, emotional, and physical health. Furthermore, several members of our library team are trained mental health first aiders, prepared to offer you support whenever you need it.<\/p>\n<p>So please, if you\u2019re ever feeling lonely during your time at Napier, please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out.<\/p>\n<p>By Matthew Ferrie<\/p>\n<p>Read more about wellbeing on the blog with our article: <a href=\"http:\/\/Wellbeing in the library\">Wellbeing in the library<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University Mental Health Day University Mental Health DayThe twelfth of March 2026 marked the 18th annual University Mental Health Day, a day dedicated to raising visibility of mental health issues among student communities, and to combat stigma associated with discussions of mental health.
