Mental Health Monday - A message from Katie, your VP Wellbeing ๐งก "This week the Event Management Students are putting on a series of online Christmas events for you all to attend all about escaping the new normal! There are loads of different activities you can attend across the week, to make this last week in lockdown slightly easier. From wellness activities to a murder mystery. I will be involved in Brookes Movember Brew on Wednesday 25th of November at 11am with William Baird, to discuss what the University and the Union are doing to support students mental health and how taking part in Movember is really important. It will be a really informative and fun hour of discussion, that I hope helps a lot of people. Taking part in activities like these are a great way to lift your spirit in these hard times. Who doesn't love that fact that Christmas has come early! Keep your heads high, and reach out if you need to. Stay safe x" *The Movember Brew registration link can be found in linktree in our bio!

Today marks Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today we remember all those who have died from acts of anti-transgender violence. The MultifaithChaplaincy will be leading a commemoration online at 6pm to mark Trans Day of Remembrance, with the support of the LGBTQ+ Staff Network and the student LGBTQ+ Society. Joining link can be found via our linktree in the bio. As we hold respect for all those lives today, we hope you carry it with you everyday, because this is more than a day, more than a post, more than statistics - these are peoplesโ lives. Today is as much about remembering as bringing attention to the ongoing discrimination happening around us. With this in mind, here are a few sites for anyone who need support, or if you want to educate yourself on these matters: @mygwork - Take a look at their post on how to be a Trans Ally @switchboardlgbt - National LGBTQIA+ helpline @mpjinstitute - Marsha P. Johnson Institute @stonewalluk @fortheloveofqueers
