About this Event

Stamp Out The Stigma is a campaign where we want students to open up about their mental health and disengage the stigma surrounding it. Therefore, RUSU are bringing a series of events which are going to get you in engaged in thinking differently about mental health.



We want to encourage an environment where students can openly talk about mental health to ensure that there is a sense of support within RUSU.



Throughout the 17th – 21st October, we got a range of free events where you can come down and get involved.



You can show your support in the campaign by keeping an eye out for the elephant around campus and tweet us with #ElephantInTheRoom.
