About the project:

EMBRACE HE is a project specially designed to help address problems of mental health and lack of well being in students in higher education. The mental health and well being of youth in Europe is a high concern and this group includes students, who similar to other young people, often suffer anxiety, depression, attempted suicide and serious mental health problems. If not addressed, many of these problems can continue onto later life, in employment, family life and society and can also negatively affect day to day activities of study, progression and achievement in study, participation in social life and activities, networking and developing interpersonal skills.

EMBRACE HE will:

  • design and create a programme of activities that will bring together best practices in an easily implemented format to support HEI’s in supporting student mental well being.
  • provide training, tools and resources for academics and academic-related staff in HE, who support students,
  • create policy resources for HE wide implementation and action planning, structured activities at the institutional, systems and class room levels, to support good student well being.
