Mental Health Awareness Week at YSJ
Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 begins on 10 May and this year’s theme is nature. At York St John University, our environmental wellbeing team have taken inspiration from our biodiverse campus and the incredible organisations we know and work with to provide our University community with events, resources, tips and support.
Across the week, join us by building in some small yet effective activities into your daily lives to feel more positive and able to get the most out of life.
