Good (mental) health is crucial to a positive and successful student life. It is important to take good care of yourself and be aware of the well-being of those around you. Challenges are part of everyday life and everyone’s personal development, but sometimes it can all be just too much. Your well-being can come under pressure. Recognizable? It is important to know that you can really do something about it. As director of a student organization you will also have to deal with the well-being of your members and fellow students. Talk to each other about it and know where members can go for help and guidance. Both inside and outside the organization.
