Mental health awareness at Bathurst
1 JANUARY 2003
During National Mental Health Week, which runs from Sunday 5 to Sunday 12 October, Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Bathurst is planning activities for students and staff to raise awareness of mental health issues and the resources available to them. Starting at 12pm on Wednesday 8 October on the University library lawn, the University’s Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Committee will host a free bar-b-que at a stall with brochures, ’stress less’ activities and free information. CSU OH&S spokesperson, Ms Meghan Bailey, said “To support the Mental Health Week theme of ‘building resilience and promoting a positive attitude to help appreciate the little things’, the University student support team including counsellor Ms Jerre Weaver and the University’s campus nurse, Ms Kathryn Foster, will speak to students and staff about services available to them. Staff from Headspace, a Federal Government-sponsored mental health initiative for youth, will also be on campus.”
