For World Mental Health Day 2022, we're reflecting on how our award winning Pentacell program has  build relationships and create communities to support their mental health. Over the course of a school year, each Pentacell group (five students and one alumni facilitator) meets 10 times virtually.

It’s a collaboration between the alumni team and the counselling service, born out of a need for a “non-clinical intervention to increase well-being, belonging, and alleviate stress and anxiety,” says Alice Perry, Head of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving. The feedback has been “phenomenal,” says Alice Perry: “People really appreciated that ability to connect and the friendship they got with it. Someone called it a game-changer, [saying] that they wouldn’t have gotten through the [university] experience without it.”
