Today marks the beginning of Mental Health Awareness week, and this year the theme is 'Action'.

This year focuses on taking practical steps to support good mental health, aimed at reducing the powerlessness often felt when facing mental health challenges. It is an invitation for all of us to take that next step. Your action can be something you do for yourself, for someone else, or for all of us.

Whatever action looks like for you, it matters. When millions of small actions happen at once, they have the power to create a healthier, kinder, more connected society for everyone and good mental health for all

If you would like to take action and feel you would benefit from some emotional or academic support, please contact HBS Student Support to arrange a confidential 1:1 meeting, by emailing [email protected].

April is Stress Awareness Month, a time to focus on reducing stress, fostering a happier, healthier, and more resilient world. 🧠🩷

This year's theme is Lead with Love, encouraging us to approach ourselves and others with kindness, compassion, and acceptance, no matter the challenges we face. With managing work, caring responsibilities and thinking about the future alongside juggling exams and coursework deadlines, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed as a student.

Talking to someone can allow you to acknowledge and process what you are feeling, an important skill that will serve you well during times of stress.

If you would like to speak to someone, please contact the HBS Student Support team to arrange a confidential meeting. You can get in touch by emailing [email protected] and arrange a meeting a face to face, online or by telephone call.

Today is International Women’s Day, a day to recognise and celebrate the history and achievements of women, as well as prompt us to raise awareness and take action to progress gender equality.

This year’s theme is 'Give to Gain', a call to help forge gender equality through abundant giving. When people, organisations and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. When women thrive, we all rise. Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy or time, contributing to women's advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world. .🌍
