Mental Health Awareness Week 2023

15-20 May 2023

Looking for mental health support?

  • Talk to someone - our staff counsellors are here for you.

Get involved with free activities for everyone in our LSE community! Play some table tennis, swap some books, or get a free massage - 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 wellbeing webpages.

Take a look at the schedule below and sign yourself up to some well-deserved wellbeing.
