The aim of Mental Health Week at BU is to encourage staff, students and the public to start talking openly about mental health issues.

Between Monday 7 and Friday 11 October 2013 there are a huge range of events taking place both on and off campus, including:

• It’s time to talk: 3 short films about personal recovery from mental health issues
• My own personal narrative of recovery and living with bipolar disorder
• Tea and Talk workshops
• Drink, Drugs and Mental Health – the Highs and the Lows
• Eating Disorders Myths and Truths
• Representation of mental health within the media: my own personal perspective
• I Told You I Was Ill: Spike Milligan and the Media
