Get Involved

There are many ways that students can get involved to promote mental wellbeing.

Student Mental Health Strategy Group

The Student Mental Health Strategy Group is made up of students and staff, plus external members from the NHS, North Wales Police and the University Chaplaincy.

They meet three times a year and support those who experience mental health difficulties in order to create an inclusive community. If you are a student and interested in becoming a representative for the Student Mental Health Strategy Group, please contact counselling@bangor.ac.uk

University Mental Health Awareness Day

Every spring, Bangor University takes part in Mental Health Awareness Day which promotes the mental health of people working and studying in higher education. The event is an opportunity to get more students involved in supporting future health promotion and campaigns.
