On behalf of my compatriots and the wider Lancaster University Psychiatry Society, LPS, thank you for taking a moment to read this – don’t worry this is short. From the starting point of common concern this society is BRAND NEW with an unofficial mandate of spreading the news, information, tips and positive vibes in the hope of promoting awareness and sensitivity towards mental health. Mental health problems are extremely widespread and manifest themselves in a great many ways, just as everyone is different, so are our minds. We pride ourselves on being open, friendly and supportive – all qualities we hope our members will help to spread! If you are interested in mental health as a collection of various conditions and phenomena, including a wide variety of symptoms, or looking to meet likeminded people then sign up and get involved. We’re planning all manner of activities and events, aimed towards ridding Lancaster of stigma and misunderstanding of such a common hindrance as mental health difficulties. Join us now to discover the misrepresented, sprawling and fascinating world of both the cerebral and the sensational as we together aspire to learn more, understand each other, and to build a warm, encouraging community. Any questions, queries or concerns? Stay tuned and watch this space :-)
