Angel Au

Hi, I’m Angel, an MSci Psychology student and the current President of the Society, seeking to extend my period of office.

Continuing our current projects that promote your well-being, as well as raise awareness around mental health topics and intersectionality. I endeavour to achieve the following:

• Build a supportive community: Regular socials for you to take a break and share your worries with fellow students
• Develop professionally: Organising more career events in the mental health field to expand your professional network
• Give back to the community: Fundraisers for mental health charities and relevant student-led groups
• More effective communication: Circulate event schedules regularly so you can plan ahead, as well as listen to your opinions via digital and in-person means

With years of advocating for mental health and working with 20+ relevant charities, I have:

• Strong leadership: I have been leading university-wide, national and international student-led organisations (e.g., UCL Cultured Minds, BPS Student Committee, International Psychology Students Initiative) which sharpened my communication skills and cultural sensitivity
• Empathetic and non-judgmental beliefs: I currently work at HFEH Mind as a Safe Space Support Worker to de-escalate mental health crises, and have volunteered at Shout, Beat and UCLH NHS Trust
• Comprehensive knowledge to protect you: I am a certified Mental Health First Aider, First Aider, and Fire Warden
