University Mental Health Day

We join with other Australian and New Zealand universities to raise awareness of the mental health and wellbeing needs of those who study and work in higher education.

Events

We have a number of events happening during University Mental Health day, as well as throughout the year. Keep an eye on My La Trobe for updates on University Mental Health Day events and activities.
