Join us at our 3rd National Student Mental Health Event. This conference will bring together HE leaders, students, academic/policy researchers, health, social care and counselling services to develop responses to the student mental health crisis.

By attending this conference all delegates will receive 10 CPD points.

You will get to hear from some of the key industry stakeholders on how to assess the diverse impact(s) and disruption of lockdowns and COVID-19 measures on university students – transforming models of teaching, upending the structure and routines that students may rely on; bereaving young people who have lost family members or friends and forcing some into lockdown with people they don’t know – or worse, that pose a risk to them.

Places at this event are going quickly given the high demand. Why not book your place(s) or ask us to hold you ticket(s) while you await funding approval.
