Mental Health Support - Internal and External
Mental Health and Wellbeing Support at AUP SU
The Students' Union regularly runs events to support mental health and wellbeing, including for Mental Health Awareness Week, University Mental Health Day, and more.
We work with the University's Human Resources Team to ensure key University staff are Mental Health First Aid trained, and you can spot these staff by their pink lanyards (pictured right).
​
We always aim to ensure the Student Union President and Student Union Manager are Mental Health First Aid trained and undergo additional training in the form of ASIST: Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training.
