‘Step Up Universities Zine’ for students by students.

Earlier this year SSW and Student Union Advice Service collaborated with Rethink Mental Illness charity to develop a peer mentor programme at UCL -  ‘Step Up University mentors’.  The programme was launched simultaneously across a few London universities earlier this year but sadly had to be put on hold due to covid.

However, Project Manager May and her team of one have continued to work with the students who were part of the programme across the London institutes to launch ‘Step Up Universities Zine’. The team will create a fortnightly zine on a different topic (based on some of the workshops that they created). The zine will include blogs and information from students about their own experience, supporting friends, as well as CBT tips and other resources.
