Trust Your Struggle (TYS)

University can be a difficult time for students, especially during exam season. But trusting your struggle means accepting and believing that everything you are going through now will work out for your good later.

To round up Mind Your Head Month (a campaign to stimulate conversations about mental health) Bristol SU international student officer teamed up with the student media company InHouse Media to release the TYS videos. They feature the university stories of a diverse mix of staff at Bristol University that all students can relate to in some way.

The TYS videos were generously funded by the Alumni Foundation.
