For universities to be places where people thrive both academically and personally, they need an authentic, supportive culture and a framework that fosters positive mental health and wellbeing for all staff and students. This framework needs to include the provision of appropriate support or timely and effective referral to support when mental health difficulties arise. A big part of that is having real and relevant conversations between peers, staff and students to notice any mental health difficulties and seek out appropriate support and services that may be necessary.
