We are unable to offer mental health support directly to students. If you would like to speak with someone about how you are feeling, there are some external services that can help. Your college or university can also offer support.
Think Positive’s project outcomes 2025-2026:
- Colleges, universities and students’ associations demonstrate an increase in joined up working when coordinating their mental health work, through tracking, monitoring and evaluating levels of engagement.
- Colleges, universities and students’ associations improve their mental health support offer, identifying and monitoring strengths and development areas.
- Colleges, universities and students’ associations create better links with wider services and support.
- Participating colleges, universities and students’ associations be better equipped to build upon their mental health work.
- Project participants engage with students to shape the mental health support across Scotland’s colleges, universities and students’ associations.
- Engagement with the Student Mental Health Action Plan Delivery Group, chaired by the Scottish Government.
