Description

Join This Group

The Black Dog Project is a student-led volunteer group. Our aim is to raise the awareness of and combat the stigma surrounding mental health, through delivering educational activities to young people at local schools and youth groups. Through our work we hope to normalise talking about mental health and equip young people with the strategies and confidence they need to look after their wellbeing.

 

In the last two years, we have been able to give over 52 schools talks and spoke to over 1700 students across Bristol in 10 local schools and youth groups. Our topics for workshops and assemblies range from body image, to exam stress, to anxiety, as well as the transition to university.

 

This year we are hoping to cover a broader range of mental health topics than ever! We want you, as a University of Bristol student, to help create and deliver these important educational resources for young people on topics, that you feel passionate about!

 

As a volunteer, you can get involved in:

  • Our regular group lesson planning sessions, and
  • Delivering workshops and assemblies, either in-person or virtually

 

You will need a DBS check to volunteer with young people with us. You can do this for free through Bristol SU here: https://www.bristolsu.org.uk/skills-volunteering/volunteer-resources/dbs
