There are growing pressures on university students as the sector undergoes major changes and graduates enter an uncertain world. Student support services are showing an increasing awareness of the diverse needs and perspectives of student populations, making sure they accommodate international perspectives, the specific circumstances of mature students, and marginalised communities. Professionals from across student support services must come together to share best practice and key strategies to improve mental health provisions in higher education settings.
Join us at The Student Mental Health Conference 2025 to hear the latest updates and guidance from leading experts on student mental health services. Engage with high-level keynotes that will update you on the latest government policies for supporting student mental health and a range of best practice case-studies that include strategies for supporting students from academic and financial pressures. You will also have the opportunity to network with senior colleagues from across the sector to share common challenges and discuss strategies for removing the stigma of discussions around student mental health.
