World Mental Health Day: Prioritise Your Wellbeing
Today, on World Mental Health Day, it's important to remember that caring for your mental health is just as crucial as caring for your physical health. As students, it's easy to feel overwhelmed with studies, deadlines, and personal challenges, but you don't have to face these struggles alone.
The Open University offers several resources designed to support your wellbeing:
- TalkCampus: A peer support platform where you can talk to other students around the world who understand what you’re going through. Sometimes, it’s helpful to hear from others facing similar struggles.
- OU Wellbeing App: This app provides tools to help manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. It’s packed with resources to help you maintain a healthy balance between life and studies.
- Shout 85258: If you need someone to talk to, Shout offers free, confidential 24/7 text support. Text SHOUT to 85258, and a trained volunteer will help you through whatever you’re facing.
On this World Mental Health Day, take a moment to check in with yourself, and don't hesitate to reach out for support if you need it.
