Our work with colleges, universities and students’ associations
Think Positive work with 91% of all colleges, universities and students’ associations in Scotland to develop, promote and evaluate their mental health support offer, through our SMHA project. Central to this approach is working with students to help institutions to understand what is currently working well for students and where improvements could be made.
Why get involved?
We believe that services, supports and initiatives for students need to be developed and evaluated with students and staff working together. Your contributions could help to shape future services, help the institution better understand what students want and could improve the overall experience for future students. It could also be a great development opportunity for you to learn more and make new connections.
