Higher Education Inform
A Learning Consultancy Partnership Newsletter
 
 March 2014

In this month's newsletter we focus on mental health and wellbeing. A recent article written by an anonymous academic on The Guardian website suggested that HEIs have a long way to go to effectively support staff and students with mental health issues.

This prompted us to take a look at how the sector approaches wellbeing and what help and support is available to institutions looking to better support staff and students.
