The University of Southampton, alongside 31 other UK Universities have joined the new Student Minds University Mental Health Charter Programme.
With the effects of COVID-19, student and staff mental health is more important than ever and the new Charter will help shape a future in which everyone in can thrive.
The University Mental Health Charter Programme, led by Student Minds, was created by thousands of staff and students. The University is committed to making mental health and wellbeing a university-wide priority, providing an environment and culture that supports good mental health, facilitating staff and students to develop understanding and skills to manage and maintain their own wellbeing.
What is the University Mental Health Charter?
The University Mental Health Charter Framework is a set of evidence-informed principles to support universities to adopt a whole-university approach to mental health and wellbeing. It will bring together universities committed to making mental health a university-wide priority to share practice and create cultural change.
