Wellbeing Project Student Collaborator
Would you like to get involved in the new OfS Mental Health Project? We have an opportunity for a student to become part of a team working on a mental health project for a couple of years.
Students who are first in their families to attend university and students who are otherwise cut off from family support, are at increased risk of poor mental health, social isolation, and non-continuation as they make their way through critical transition points in their university careers. Transition points include entering and leaving university, moving between academic years and semester breaks, when often reality bites around academic and financial pressures, relationships, home and university contrasts, homesickness and other aspects of student life. Our project, led by a combination of expert HE and mental health professionals, and co-designed and co-delivered with students, will provide a novel transition support package for first-in-family students. It will generate much-needed evidence of what can improve mental health outcomes for this group of students.
