By signing the 鈥楾ime to Change鈥� pledge, the Students鈥� Union and Student Support Mental Health Team are helping to promote the campaign launched by mental health charity .

Michele Flynn, the Students鈥� Union Chief Executive, has placed her full support behind the initiative.

鈥淚t humbles me to sign this pledge on behalf of Beds SU and I would like to confirm we are in this for the long haul,鈥� she said. 鈥淭his is not a publicity stunt or photo opportunity; it is a true commitment for change and action.

鈥淏eds SU is committed to supporting students who are experiencing mental health issues. We need to recognise the signs of declining mental health, to intervene at earlier stages and to make sure people know where they can go for help and advice.鈥�

Alongside the signing, the Students鈥� Union hosted an event where students and staff were given advice on how to support people with mental health issues. They were also granted the opportunity to propose their own ways on how to deal with friends or family with depression, dementia or any other mental illness.

The Students鈥� Union Vice-President of Welfare and Equality, Rebecca Boyle, said: 鈥淭he campaign is to get people to challenge their misconceptions about mental health issues. The team in Beds SU put together an action plan which consists of awareness campaigns and events that we can put together over the year.鈥�

For any staff or students who would like to know more about the pledge, or want to put up their own suggestions on the 鈥楶ledge Wall鈥�, information is available in The Lounge, Campus Centre, Luton.
