    Evidence and evaluationEvidence and evaluation: how to improve support for student mental health

    This free professional development webinar for Student Services professionals in higher education, presented in partnership with TASO (Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes in Higher Education), helps you build awareness and knowledge of the Student Mental Health Evidence Hub, including its evidence-based toolkit, examples of practice and evaluation guidance.

    Find out how the Student Mental Health Evidence Hub can guide evidence-informed practice and build the evaluation capacity of student mental health interventions. Take the opportunity to think about your own interventions and ask questions about this new resource.

    Join us to:

    • Get a clear understanding of the hub and how to use it to inform your approaches to student mental health support.
    • Understand the importance of using evidence to inform practice and how to generate more robust evaluation.
    • Learn about developing evidence-based interventions to support student mental health.
    • Learn more about approaches for evaluating interventions.

    This free event takes place online on Thursday 14 December 2023 from 09:30 to 10:30 (GMT).

    This event is hosted using Zoom. We'll send you a link to join the meeting when you register.

    You'll receive recordings of the event sessions afterwards (subject to successful recordings), as well as any presentations or resources. The recordings won't include discussion sessions, workshops, ‘Chatham House rule’ sections or presentation sessions that speakers prefer not to share in this way.

    Reduced fee places available to encourage participation

    We want colleagues from across the higher education student support sector to take part in our National Conference 2024, including those who have less opportunity to engage with an event of this kind. We want to help with the professional development of colleagues who are:

    • Starting on their Student Services leadership career (for example, early career professionals).
    • Working in circumstances that limit their opportunities for professional development (for example, those from small and specialist organisations where resources for professional development are tight).
    • From diverse backgrounds, who want to bring their perspectives and insights to the conference conversations and contribute to our network of Student Services leaders.

    Two residential places are available at a reduced fee of £625 each for colleagues working in higher education support roles who might otherwise find it difficult to attend.

    The reduced fee places are for all three days of the conference, and include accommodation at the conference venue, all meals and access to the evening events. Travel to and from the conference isn’t included, so you’ll need to arrange and pay for this yourself.

    In return for the reduced fee place, we’ll ask you to write a short article about what you learned at the conference, the value of attending to your professional development, and how others might benefit by taking part. We’ll publish your article on our website.

    Watch this space for more information about how to apply for one of the reduced fee places.
