This project was designed to capture some of the key stressors that may add additional strain throughout the academic journey, which could ultimately lead to mental health concerns. The posters aim to create awareness of these issues and presents an opportunity to discuss them in more detail. All these posters are free to use and distribute. You can download the full set of posters or alternatively download individual posters below.
I am not a medical professional, or psychologist - I am a research scientist with lived experience of the mental health pressures in academia. I make these resources for awareness and they are designed to be for guidance only.
