Students shared messages of hope, support and guidance which was wonderful to see and shows the work that they and the College put into positive wellbeing and ending stigma. During tutorials this year already, first year students have discussed helpful ways to cope with stress and will continue exploring mental wellbeing themes throughout the year. For any student who would like advice and guidance, tutors can signpost individuals to College mental health services or local/ online self-help."** ### World Mental Health Day 2019 [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/Main%20Pic%20Edit.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/Main%20Pic%20Edit.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4157.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4157.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4303.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4303.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4158.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4158.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4304.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4304.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4305.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4305.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4308.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4308.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4314.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/IMG_4314.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/Toffee.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/world-mental-health-day-2019/Toffee.jpg) -
