In the spirit of preventative work as well as normalizing everyday experiences in all life the Student Counselling Service (SCS) at the University of Edinburgh took a different perspective with ‘What Works’.
World Mental Health Day!
Today is World Mental Health Day. The theme this year is ‘young people and mental health in a changing world’ and this has never been more pertinent.

Self-Management Resource
Students and staff from universities and colleges across Scotland consistently tell us that support to improve student mental health needs to be a priority. Experiencing mental illness or poor mental wellbeing can have a pronounced impact on a student’s attendance, attainment, and even result in them leaving their course before completion. We wanted to find out more about students’ experience of managing mental ill health while studying. With funding from the ALLIANCE we were able to undertake research on self-management with students experiencing mental illness. We hope that this report will allow students and staff to think about mental health from a new perspective and highlight the ways in which to best support students to self-manage.
