Student mental health: minding the gaps

This online continuing professional development event for Student Services leaders helps you navigate the various sector frameworks to apply them to (and identify gaps in) your student mental health provision. The session also identifies resources and good practice to help you enhance some areas of mental health provision that might need attention.

Join a range of AMOSSHE members and higher education sector experts to explore how to use the Student Minds University Mental Health Charter and Universities UK Stepchange Mentally Healthy Universities framework to identify gaps in your student mental health provision. Then discover resources and good practice for virtual mental health support and supporting less prominent student groups.

All delegates will receive a recording of the event afterwards, as well as any presentations or resources. The recording won't include discussion sessions, workshops, ‘Chatham House rule’ sections or presentation sessions that speakers prefer not to share in this way.
