Introducing Group TWENTY-FIVE of our 25: University of Exeter
Posted on 30th December, 2011
We are very excited to announce that the last of our twenty-five '25by2012' groups is the Mind your Head society from the University of Exeter. The society has been in action since 2010, and was founded on the principles of promoting awareness of mental health issues and wellbeing through education, information and action. This year the group is being run by a final year Economics student, Gareth Morris. On becoming one of the first 25 Mental Wealth UK groups, Gareth had the following to say:
"It is a great opportunity to work and collaborate with like minded groups across the country. Running a MW group is an exciting way to raise awareness, meet a variety of people and make great friends!"
Gareth sites the development of its membership base and social media presence as some of its strongest achievements so far; reaching 58 members and 150 Facebook likes within just a year of the society being founded. The society is also set to promote alcohol awareness during the post-exam period that often sees dangerous levels of alcohol consumed by students.
We look forward to seeing them go from strength to strength in 2012!
