WORD<br />

Hello everyone,<br />

I hope your return to education has gone smoothly<br />

with as little hiccups as possible! <strong>October</strong> is a great<br />

time of the year, being one of my favourites! It’s that<br />

time where you can really begin to get snuggly infront<br />

of a fire with toasted marshmallows and fluffy<br />

socks (cliché I know).<br />

However, the dark nights and dark mornings can<br />

make coping with mental health difficulties a lot<br />

harder for some – so keep an eye out for your friends<br />

and offer that support if they appear to be struggling.<br />

On <strong>October</strong> 10th it is World Mental Health Day<br />

#WMHD – I have written an article on this for you all<br />

to read! I hope you enjoy! We are holding non-uniform<br />

days at some of our collaborating schools to raise<br />

money for the mental health work we do here at<br />

<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Life</strong> too!<br />

Trigger warning: this month we feature articles on<br />

people’s everyday experiences and battles with<br />

mental health, anxiety and panic.<br />

If any of the articles have affected you in any way and<br />

you want someone<br />

to talk to, please feel<br />

free to<br />

contact myself or<br />

another team<br />

member.<br />

As always,<br />

Peace and Love xo<br />
