• Embrace, Support, Empower 2025-2026

    Embrace, Support, Empower. 20-24 October 2025. Image of cartoon students sat on icon of brain.

    It’s almost that time of year again! We’re looking forward to our third year of running this awareness and celebration event for staff and students.  

    This year, you’ll notice some familiar activities and content themes but with some special guest appearances and the return of the brains…🧠 Not only this but we will also have an interactive drop in on the ground floor of Catalyst every day from 10-3 so please come along to engage with colleagues, peers and friends. There will be opportunities to listen to words of wisdom, share your own and show us your brain – no surgical procedures or tools will be used, provided or encouraged in the delivery of this activity

    One of our key messages:

    It’s important to tune into your physical, mental and emotional needs. One way to think about this is to focus on your strengths and try and avoid the things that do not feel good, things that may trigger stress or any negative stuff generally. We want to help you do this through our workshops and activities.
