Nobody should face any mental health challenges alone and many do not receive the support they require. So for this year's World Mental Health Day, why not take part in #HelloYellow on 10th October to show young people how they feel matters?
According to NHS research, nearly half a million young people are being referred for mental health problems every month, but many still aren’t getting the help they need. #HelloYellow has been set up by YoungMinds so those who are struggling know that how they feel matters and they deserve to feel supported. By raising money and awareness for YoungMinds, we can all create real change and support young people who need it, no matter what.
We'll be supporting students to fundraise for the Young Minds charity on Thursday at Milton Road from 10am to 2pm. You'll be able to pick up some bits of yellow clothing for a donation if you've forgotten to bring some from home!
No matter what campus you are on, you can support the Hello Yellow campaign for Mental Health Awreness by wearing yellow on the 10th of October and spreading a little happiness.
