State of Mind arrived at the town centre campus on Tuesday morning to deliver the State of Mind session to Health and Social Care students for the very first time.
43 students attended the session focusing on equality and diversity in health, how 75% of suicides in the UK are completed by men and how health services should attempt to attract men to services and health interventions in creative ways to improve mental fitness
