Feeling homesick? Deadline stress? Having an off-day? Overwhelmed by student life?
You are not alone, the majority of the students around you are experiencing the same struggles.
Being open about this can help break down any stigma surrounding it. This is the first step towards coming to terms with your feelings. Don't suffer in silence, come OpenUP! on Thursday 27 February at 15:00 in Wijnhaven.
This event has the objective to encourage you and your peers to open up and share your experience and talk about student wellbeing. While many other events aim to provide solutions, this event aims to encourage and facilitate you to take control of your mental wellbeing by breaking the silence, talking and listening to each other.
