MHM 2024: How to Help a Friend (Student Workshop)

Are you a UNSW student leader or volunteer?

How to Help a Friend training is free and delivered by students for students. It breaks down the simple steps you need to take to notice the signs that someone is struggling, gives you tips on how to reach out and what actions you can take to help.

It aims to build students’ confidence in:

• Identifying the ‘red flags’ that another student may be experiencing a mental health concern
• Reaching out and checking-in with a friend/peer
• Providing information about available UNSW support services for students.

This event is brought to you as part of UNSW's Mental Health Month 2024. Organised by the UNSW Health Promotion Unit / Student Minds.

Content context: Our mental health is a part of what makes us who we are. Conversations about our mental health can sometimes be difficult but you don’t need to face it alone. Find the support you need to deal with what’s going on in your mind through services like UNSW’s Psychology & Wellness, or through a range of free helplines.  

Mental Health Month at UNSW is coordinated by the UNSW Health Promotion Unit in partnership with students and staff across UNSW. We aim to encourage the UNSW community to build health literacy, capacity skills and lifelong positive changes that will improve their overall health and wellbeing beyond their time at UNSW.
