I am still doing the 'Big Leap', jumping off the top of Belfast Castle, but with the security of having a rope attached. And, I plan to make it safely to the bottom.

It all happens between 6.00 and 6.30pm this Thursday, 12 March - so if you are in Belfast why not come along to Belfast Castle and join in the fun.

Why am I doing it? I am very concerned about student mental health and I am very aware of the amazing support provided by Mind Your Mood, the student-led mental health campaign at Ulster University.

Please support my ‘big leap’ and make a donation.

Mind Your Mood aims to give students the opportunity to understand mental health issues, promote ways to improve your mental health and break down the stigma surrounding mental health among students.

Mental health affects how we function in everyday life, so it is important.

Just like we need to look after our physical health, we need to look after our mental health.

We need to actively take care of ourselves.

The majority of people are aware of the implications of ignoring their physical health, however, the consequences of ignoring our mental health can be just as serious, yet it is something we tend to ignore.

Mind your Mood plans to tackle this by partnering with a range of charities and individual speakers to provide educational workshops, as well as running events and health fairs to promote awareness.

The Mind Your Mood Award aspires to educate and equip students to tackle the stigma in their own friend groups, societies, courses and campus.
