🌍 Our review underscores the importance of distinguishing between mental health and well-being. Accurate measures are key for effective interventions and understanding student needs. 🛠️📚 tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108… @alysondodd @PriestleyMJ @katietyrrell99 @KittyN101

My MSc student is looking for people to complete a 15-30 min survey on public perception of UK prisoners, taking into account mental health literacy. All participant information is completely anonymous. To access the survey, click here: nupsych.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5B…

📚 @alysondodd and team examined 44 studies on UK student well-being. Findings show varied definitions and measures of well-being, highlighting the need for clearer, consistent approaches. 📊🔍 tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108… @PriestleyMJ @katietyrrell99 @KittyN101

Loneliness arises when reality doesn't meet expectations But expectations are many and varied For new students, the quality of relationships is a challenge. By second semester, a quarter of new students did not feel they made friends they could trust u-belong.uk/toolkit

🧠 Questions on mental health literacy highlight the need for better awareness and support for students. How can we improve understanding and reduce stigma? cambridge.org/core/journals/… @PriestleyMJ @TilWykes @alysondodd @EmmaBroglia @katietyrrell99 #MentalHealthEducation

Set up a CBT service run by the university - surely not? Well, we did and here's how! @NclDClinPsy @claire_lomax @EllenMarshall1 @DoorCelery

@DrEmily_Long @SoVeryBritish 🤣

@alysondodd @SoVeryBritish Aye, pal

When to crack out the mini jog: - zebra crossing - petrol station forecourt - corridor of held doors - car to postbox - returning the supermarket trolley - after tripping over nothing - decelerate into one when the bus you were running for pulls away

Empathy goes both ways! Good community well-being needs environments that break down 'us and them', help us feel 'in it together', and motivate us to do our best for the community. Blog on my findings below @Garethstudentwb @zile_amy @Sam_GB_Roberts whatworkswellbeing.org/blog/what-make…

I've been reflecting on one of my own discussion responses (more of a rant) on metrics and responsibility for these. I actually showed pretty poor community well-being by trying to claim this was for others to worry about rather than a collective responsibility...#smhc24

Our discussion group on community well-being in universities this morning was fascinating. Lots of overlap with the findings from my research and my own experience as uni staff - but also lots that made me contemplate and question my own perceptions #smhc24

Loved the student mental health conference @KingsIoPPN this week, and hearing the perspectives of the wonderful student co-convenors to round off the conference. Well done to all organisers! 😀 #smhc24

It was lovely to catch up with you @StudentMindsOrg and learn more about your amazing work on the Student Mental Health Manifesto. Sharing this again and encouraging people to take a look and get involved! #smhc24 studentminds.org.uk/studentmentalh…
