Putting in place a whole university approach to mental health means significant cultural and structural change.
A whole university approach needs:
- a shared vision of a mentally healthy university co-produced with staff and students capacity building among staff
- visible leadership to drive the strategic purpose and to provide authority to resource and sustain improvement
- effective and transparent governance to ensure that the vision is realised
- open collaborative workplace cultures to encourage staff and student ideas and commitment and students to understand and facilitate change
- infrastructure to capture and embed improvements, and to avoid duplication or inefficient use of time and resource
- data collection to measure outcomes
