Mental Health Awareness Week, 9-13 May
Get involved with free activities for everyone in our LSE community. Join a crafting session, say hi to dogs on campus or take part in a fitness activity - there's something for everyone!
These events are an opportunity for you to step away from your desk and take a break and are not intended to replace immediate or long-term mental health support.
If you are struggling or need further support with mental health issues, please visit our dedicated staff and student wellbeing webpages.
For some activities you'll need to book - take a look at the schedule below and sign up today! For all other activities, you can drop in for as long - or as little - as you like (we know how busy Summer Term can be!).
