Description
The Student Mental Health Evidence Hub
Developed by a consortium consisting of AMOSSHE The Student Service Organisation, King’s/SMaRteN, Student Minds, and What Works Wellbeing, they synthesised evidence, identified current practices and gaps in mental health support for students, supported partners in evaluating their interventions, and produced case studies and evaluation guidance.
The Hub provides information, evidence and evaluation guidance that the sector can use to improve the efficacy of their students' mental health support.
Who is this event for?
Practitioners, researchers, evaluators, and mental health support teams at HE providers who wish to guide their practice and update their strategies and perspectives on student mental health evidence-based intervention.
This event will take a detailed look at the Hub, including the Student Mental Health Evidence Toolkit, examples of practice, and evaluation guidance.
You will have the opportunity to dive into the practical applications of the student mental health evidence hub and gain a deeper understanding of how it can guide evidence-informed practice and build evaluation capacity.
