Mental Health Pressure Points in the Student Journey

The student journey is marked by continual transitions, expectations, and pressures that can impact students’ mental health and wellbeing.
From the earliest stages of preparing to apply, through each academic year and into graduation, students have a lot to juggle.
The Mental Health Pressure Points in the Student Journey document outlines these major pressure points. It highlights challenges students face from applications and adjusting to new environments, academic demands, financial pressures, and planning for life beyond their studies.
By recognising these pivotal moments, support services, colleges and universities can more effectively identify where timely interventions and support may be most valuable, so that no student has to navigate these pressures alone.
