New Uwill guide: building the strategic case for effective mental health support

Recent data indicates that student mental health needs are expected to continue to rise this year. However, growing resource pressures at universities mean that many student service leaders are being asked to demonstrate to senior leadership the need for and the value of existing or new student support services, needing to show that they go beyond a “tick-the-box” approach. 

Informed by feedback from institutions, our “Building the strategic case” guide is designed to help you build a compelling case to leadership for effective student support and includes:

• key statistics on the unprecedented levels of student need.
• key statistics on the impact of effective student support on recruitment, student safety, and retention.
• key factors that differentiate solutions to demonstrate the value of effective 24/7 support.

We will be releasing additional guides  over the next year - and if you want to provide feedback to help shape our next guides, please email Asini Wijewardane on [email protected] to share challenges, learnings or best practices -  or connect with her at AMOSSHE’s Winter Conference on 13 February in Manchester!
