How can I maintain my mental health as a student?

There are many little ways that you can maintain a healthy mental state at university:

• Exercise, which has been clinically proven to reduce stress levels and make you feel better, particularly if you are suffering from Depression. 
• Talking to someone when you feel low, be it a close friend or family member. 
• Get enough rest.
• Don’t consume too much alcohol.
• Live a healthy lifestyle.

For more information on how you can maintain a healthy lifestyle whilst at university, please see the other pages under the Your Health section on our website.  Also, keep an eye out for Mind Your Mate and Mind Your Head week across campus for tips and more information on mental health. As well as being a supporter of Time To Change,

LiverpoolSU is running a campaign this year, led by Aisling, your Vice President Community Engagement to get students to talk about mental health and raise the profile of the services they can access whilst at university.  If you would like some more information about what we are doing and how you can get involved, please contact Aisling via email by clicking here or Tweet her via @LSU_VPC.
