Aberystwyth Student Minds

Unfortunately, we are unable to continue this year. If anyone wishes to revive the society in the future, we have left key information and passwords in the Teams folder.

Thank you so much for supporting us, coming to socials, participating in fundraising events, and promoting better student mental health 🧡.

There’s still a stigma surrounding men’s mental health. Men can experience mental illness too. It’s ok to struggle and it’s ok to ask for help.

In the UK, su***de is the leading cause of death for men aged 20-49 and men are 76% of all su***des. Men are also less likely to seek support, due to a fear of judgement.

You’re never alone, as many other men experience mental illness. Remember to check on your male friends, even those who don’t appear to be suffering. One conversation could save a life 🧡
