Help out with Mental Health Week this autumn

Mental Health Week will once again take place this autumn, from 5 to 9 October 2026. The Student Health Service is looking for staff who want to help contribute to student well-being.
This year’s Mental Health Week (MHW) takes place from 5–9 October – a week during which we come together to focus on the mental health of our students.
Would you like to give a talk, run a workshop, lead a panel discussion, or organize another activity on the theme of health/mental health? Or do you have a suggestion for someone who would be a good fit for the event? No topic is too big or too small.
Take a look at last year’s Mental Health Week schedule
Student Health Services will post the week’s schedule, handle marketing, brainstorm your idea and discuss venue, time, etc.
We’d like a mix of Swedish and English, in-person, hybrid, Zoom, Visby and Uppsala.
Get in touch to let us know you’re interested now, or by 5 June at the latest: halsopedagog-sh@uu.se
