Hi everyone, we're the Neurodiversity and Mental Health society!

Please read our aims and objectives to learn about what we want to achieve.

It costs just £3 for the entire year (after the Societies Guild £5 membership).

President - Choco McInnes

Secretary - Ben Cossar

Treasurer - Aina Azlin

AIMS

• Through the society, we hope people will find the ability to be comfortable and have a group of like minded individuals (as neurodivergent people and those with mental illnesses often experience discrimination and intolerance)

• Through the society, we aim to get people specific help for the studies that is specialised for their neurotypes and/or mental illnesses (as standard study tips or support may not be helpful for everyone)

• Through the society, we hope to raise a discourse about ableism and discrimination that neurodivergent people and those with mental illnesses often experience, and challenge it as a society

• The society would hope to shape how the university supports those with atypical neurotypes and/or mental illnesses (as often these people share experiences of teaching staff not fully understanding what their neurotype and/or mental illness entails)

• The society would hope to raise the awareness of all students on all the different neurotypes and/or mental illnesses a person can have, especially giving advice on how to get diagnoses or support, no matter what they struggle with

• We want to work with Student Support to achieve our aims and objectives

OBJECTIVES

• Raising awareness and acceptance

• Educational support for those with atypical neurotypes and mental illnesses

• Fundraising for selected relevant charities

• To provide safe spaces (socials, discussions, etc.) for everyone to attend, but specialised for those with atypical neurotypes and/or mental illnesses (for example, a social with quiet music, and no obligation to take part in everything)
