A group of UK universities, students and charities, as well as student accommodation provider Campus Living Villages, has called on the higher education sector to increase collaboration, to address high levels of poor mental health among students.
This followed Campus Living Villages’ research report, Mental Health: Bridging The Gap, which found two in five students say they have poor mental health. Despite this, just over a quarter (28 per cent) don’t know if their university provides information about stress and mental health, while almost half (48 per cent) are unaware if their halls of residence provides this information.
