The theme for this year's #WorldMentalHealthDay is "Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change". For nearly two decades, we have made it a priority to put student voices at the centre of conversations about their mental health and wellbeing, and today acts as a reminder why this is important.

A graphic word post with a teal background and a slanted rectangle. The text: "This year’s theme for World Mental Health Day is ‘Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change’. Since 2009, we have been putting student voices at the forefront of the conversations surrounding them. Students with a lived experiences of mental health difficulties are experts by experience. To understand the work needed to improve mental health and wellbeing at our higher education institutions, we must listen to and work with students by involving them at every stage when developing new strategies and support." - the words "must listen to and work with students" is underlined in orange.

The next text post says: "Nothing about us, without us’ is something our student volunteers feel very passionately about. You can’t effectively provide mental health support without meaningfully engaging the people who will be directly using the initiatives. Through co-production, students become agents of change, shaping decisions and outcomes using their knowledge, capabilities, experiences and expertise." - the word "co-production" is underlined in orange, and there's an orange arrow pointing to the text.

The final text post has a call to action on it. It reads: "Visit our website to see the resources and student stories we have co-produced with students and clinical professionals, aimed at supporting students navigating university life with their mental health and wellbeing." - it then has the words "Together, we can improve student mental health" in larger bold letters, with "together" underlined in orange. There's a large orange arrow pointing up at the text.

Wishing all that celebrate a meaningful Yom Kippur! 🌟 Hear from Lottie, as she reflects on navigating eating disorder recovery whilst balancing her faith during the holidays. If you're struggling with disordered eating, head over to @beatedsupport.bsky.social to access resources and their helpline.

The next quote slide on a blue background says: "Almost all the Jews I know who have struggled with disordered eating will normally choose not to fast, but that doesn't make it easy. Fasting is such a core part of the day, and it's everywhere around you. At first, I struggled with the idea of not being "normal" on such a holy day. But in Judaism, we're taught to live by the rules, not die by them; your health will always come first. Once I truly understood that, Yom Kippur became more meaningful to me... I focused on what I could do, not what I wasn't doing"

The final blue background text post says: "I make more of an effort to attend synagogue, I follow prayers more intentionally, and I've created my own tradition where I help prepare the post-fast meal for my friends or family who are fasting. Even though I don't fast, and never will, the day is still incredibly significant to me." with the following text highlighted in a yellow box "It just looks a little bit different."

enabling for us to advocate and

needed to implement.”
