The UCU Law Society Mental Health Awareness is an initiative aimed at encouraging the mental health and wellness of all students of law in UCU School of Law. The essence of the initiative is to cause change at UCU School of Law to promote students’ mental wellness, while ensuring eradication of aspects detrimental to the mental wellness in law school.
This is orchestrated through partnerships with Mental Health Awareness experts, counsellors and organizations, events, talk shows, writings, webinar sessions which are aimed at inspiring connection, and encouraging great care of one’s general health through the student life and work balance, to mention but a few. All these point towards imparting tactics and empowering students in regard to ensuring positive mental health of both themselves and fellow law students as a society.
The initiative holds virtues of accessibility and cooperation towards promoting mental wellness. The goal is to provide law students with opportunities, various avenues and skills about the different aspects of mental health and how to ensure mental wellness. Webinars and events pertaining Mental Health Awareness are organized four times annually every academic year, that is twice every semester. Stay updated about such events on the News, Events and Updates section.
The Initiative was inspired by the frustration, exhaustion, psychological meltdown, emotional wreck, and depression that many law students go through given the demanding nature of the course, student life, and currently the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic, among others with no clue whatsoever as to where to seek or turn to for help.
The Mental Health Awareness Initiative is a novel idea of AKIA PATRICIA (current SPEAKER UCULS) and initiated by the UCULS Cabinet/ student leaders, 2020-2021. For any further queries not addressed or help, Contact PATRICIA AKIA at the email akiapatricia@gmail.com or uculsmentalhealth@gmail.com
