What are your 5 Mental Hugs?



Last Tuesday an ‘Open you mind to mental health’ event was held on the Bedford Campus. We asked staff and students to think about how they looked after their mental health. Instead of 5 a day fruit and veg for your physical health we had 5 mental hugs for your mental health. Around 70 people gave us their ‘hugs’. Here are some of the responses to help you think about yours.

‘Say something positive every day’

‘Be nice to someone’

‘Sing’ 

‘Message a friend’

‘Movie night’

Eat chocolate’

‘Meditate’

‘Go for a walk in the park’

‘Tell someone I love them’
