Join Conscious as we move 2 miles each day to represent the 2 people a day who die by suicide. Conscious Edinburgh has three main goals: To advance the education amongst the student population through the provision of information online and on flyers, as well as small group sessions surrounding mental health and how to deal with stress. To advance the health amongst the student population through the provision of safe spaces on campus for students to express their mental health in an encouraging environment enabling peer-support, along with the provision of mental health first aid training to spot the signs of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts as well as other mental health issues. The provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, encouraging students to take part in activities such as yoga and other team building activities.
