Mental health in higher education conference

The world has experienced unprecedented collective stress over the past year and a half. With restrictions easing and campus life returning to something resembling the status quo ante, how do we ensure that students feel connected and safe, and that those who have experienced bereavement or trauma are adequately supported?

Our annual mental health conference is a unique opportunity for you to hear from sector-leading experts and practitioners about the latest developments in supporting mental health in higher education, and to network with peers to learn about emerging best practice.

Why should you attend?

This two-day, online conference is the perfect chance for you to catch up with peers from across the sector and the UK. The conference will be useful for all university staff thinking about developing, renewing, or implementing their mental health strategies. This conference will also be tailored to respond to the unique and new challenges that have emerged in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

You will also be able to access the recordings of all sessions after the event, including breakout sessions that you were unable to attend.
