Leicester PsychSoc
Psychiatry society hopes to raise awareness of mental health issues, within the university and the wider community, along with showing students what a career in psychiatry would be like.
Some of our events focus on a fun and relaxed exploration of topics in mental health, such as interactive debates about controversial or interesting issues, as well as our regular 'Movies for the Mind' evenings showing a popular psychological film accompanied by free movie sweets and snacks. Other events will work with qualified and training psychiatrists to help medical students look into what a career in psychiatry could involve and ask any questions about the field. Even if you'd just like to find a bit more out about psychiatry, all of our events will be completely free and take place in a fun and relaxed environment for students to hopefully enjoy and take a break from medical school.
We run events all year round to fulfill our three main aims:
- To promote psychiatry as a career
- To raise awareness of mental health issues
- To fight the stigma associated with mental illness
Our events include 'Movies for the Mind', visits to local secondary schools, interactive debates about a range of issues and talks from professionals working in the field. These are all completely free and take place in a fun, relaxed and friendly environment!
