Save Our Counsellors
The Scottish Government plans to end funding for mental health counsellors in colleges and universities in July 2023: help us stop that happening by signing the petition below.
In 2019 NUS Scotland successfully won £20 million to recruit 80 new mental health counsellors in colleges and universities.
Thanks to your campaigning there are now over 80 counsellors working in colleges and universities across Scotland.
But now the Scottish Government want to cut this funding and pass the buck back to institutions who are seeing their own budgets cut.
Think Positive research and the Thriving Learners College and University studies have shown that student mental health is in crisis – now is not the time to remove this vital support.
NUS Scotland are calling for them to halt their plans and save our mental health counsellors!
