Headucate is one of the most active, multi-award-winning, exciting student societies at the University of East Anglia.

We aim to reduce stigma and discrimination towards mental health through open conversation, education and encouraging others to speak out. 

 


What do we do?

  • We provide our members with all the training and support they need to run our school workshops 
  • We also hold socials, which are a great way to meet new people!
  • We organise fundraisers for worthy causes that members can get involved in, as well as general campaigns to help raise mental health awareness 
  • We provide platforms for open and honest conversations about mental health and wellbeing 
  • We offer Mental Health First Aid training 
  • We facilitate research and teaching opportunities

Are you interested in our workshops? 
We offer tailored mental health awareness workshops that have been approved by healthcare professionals and are run by students who are safeguarding trained. 

The workshop covers the following topics:

  • Misconceptions concerning mental health conditions
  • What is mental health? 
  • How can we look after our mental health and wellbeing? 
  • Common mental health conditions 
  • What is stigma? 
  • How can we support loved ones struggling with their mental health? 
  • What support is available? 

Through our workshops we hope to reduce the stigma and discrimination experienced by those living with a mental health condition, which is why we encourage: 

  • Facts and figures 
  • Open conversation 
  • Speaking out against misinformation
