Abstract:
During the pandemic, educators have become increasingly aware there have been rising issues of mental illness for both students and staff. Sometimes the focus in these discussions is on ‘what is going wrong’ but this panel discussion is designed to address real examples of what is going ‘right’ across the academic community. Please join us as we discuss examples of best practise and explore ways of overcoming barriers to the promotion of well-being among staff and students.
