We need to change the culture of this topic and make it ok to speak about mental health and suicide.

How Are You Feeling?

 

Part of our campaign is to find out what you are thinking and how you are feeling. We've created a form for students to share their thoughts, feelings and suggestions. It's completely anonymous - so please be honest. The information you provide will be used to create a report about student mental health, to help improve understanding and services offered. Together we can make a real positive change.
