It's no worries wednesday, so if you're on campus today then come say hello to some of our lovely volunteers in the union and get some goodies!

Today is #worldmentalhealthday and as something that can affect anyone it can help to talk to someone! We are open until 8am to answer your calls (or chat on IM) - we always listen and we never judge 😊

Come down and see us today in Jubilee sports hall to sign up and volunteer! Or just to see what we're about 😄 #sotonfreshers

Nightline is now back up and running after easter. Don't forget, we're available to call on 02380 595 236 from 8pm - 8am. and on instant messenger from 8pm - 1am via the link on our webpage http://southampton.nightline.ac.uk/

Nightline is still closed for the easter break, but it may be worth taking a look at this article if you're interested. It brings to light that fact that despite the medical world's best efforts, mental illness is still losely defined. It is certainly not unatural for anyone to feel depressed, and that's one of the first hurdles to clear on the path to wellbeing.

Some interesting statistics here. https://www.theguardian.com/…/12-statis tics-to-get-you-thin…

This week is eating disorder awareness week. See the link below to find out more. https://www.b-eat.co.uk/supp…/eating-di sorder-awareness-week

Nightline isn't just here to listen, we can also provide details for other services you think might be able to help you :)
For example, see the link below. 90% of students feel anxious, lonely or under pressure and 40% feel regularly (at least once a month) depressed so if you feel this way; you're not alone. http://studentsagainstdepression.org/

Final reminder that the second intro session for prospective volunteers is at 6:00 in B58:1023 today (thursday). :)
Again; a picture for those who the above doesn't apply to :)

To any potential callers, we're having issues with the IM service being intermittent. So bare with us if you're getting connection issues
