Batseba Asmelash
Hello! I am Batseba (she/her), a 2nd year Neuroscience student, running to be your next Mental Health Equality Officer!
This topic is close to my heart (and mind!) as I personally know its impact and understand the struggles. I am passionate about providing support, having experience being there for people to open up and working with a wellbeing charity.
Within this role, I will ensure students’ voices are heard, advocate for your needs, and push for meaningful change.
I plan to:
- Provide a regular safe space, with refreshments and a place to be you, where anybody can go and chat with others. Socialising with others regularly is often overlooked, but vital for wellbeing!
- Collaborate with Welfare & Equal Opportunity Officers both within the SRC and societies, improving support, as mental health links with other life aspects.
- Share wellbeing quick tips straight to you in various formats, especially during tense exam seasons.
- Personal assistance in directing and accessing the right support service, supporting applications where appropriate.
Although mental health is complex, I am committed to doing my best as Mental Health Equality Officer ensuring you have what is needed for your university experience.
Thanks for your consideration.
