For University Mental Health Day 2019, KCLSU will be hosting the first ever Rise Festival for student mental health and wellbeing.

Join the conversation with pop-up stalls across Guy’s, Waterloo and Strand  to chat with fellow King’s students about what mental health means to you and where you can find out more about the support services available. At Strand and Guy’s, you’ll also have the chance to de-stress with table tennis and a creativity corner –complete with a journaling workshop! Finally, in the spirit of ‘using your voice,’ we’ll be hosting talks at Guy’s and Strand to share student mental health stories in a safe space with a focus on international students, becoming a mental health advocate, experiencing psychosis and mature students.

This event coincides with the launch of KCL’s ‘Student Mental Health and Wellbeing: Report and Strategic Plan’ in the evening.

University Mental Health Day is for everyone at King’s because we all have mental health and are part of this University community where we talk about it. This event is student-led by the following groups: Think Mental, My Mind Matters Too, Our Shared Health, KCLSU Positive Peers and KCL Peer Supporters with support from KCLSU Bush House Sessions and  KCLSU Wellbeing.
