Student attitudes towards seeking professional psychological support

Abstract:

Multiple sources of evidence suggest that an increasing number of university students report significant mental health challenges and stress related health problems arising from their studies. However, a high proportion of students who experience mental health difficulties do not seek support to address these challenges. This presentation will provide a snapshot of mental wellbeing of students at Middlesex University and review data on predictors of attitudes to seeking professional psychological support. Strategies for improving uptake of counselling and other support services will be discussed.

Middlesex Student Success Festival



Student Success Festival Week:

November 7th-9th 2017 11am-3pm Quad

Studying, exams and assessment can be stressful for students, but we are here to help! This November, Middlesex University will be holding a week of activities as part of Student Success Festival focusing on all aspects of learning and achievement, from study skills to healthy living.

Many different teams from across the university will be involved in this event. Students will be encouraged to participate in games and activities that will be based around various learning, study and wellbeing skills in order help promote awareness of all that the university has to offer, and to encourage them to take independent ownership of their own learning adventures! Not only that, but there will be competitions and gifts, including the chance for students to win an iPad!

Activities  related to succeeding at university and beyond will be offered by Sports and Recreation,  Wellbeing, the LET, MDXSU, and Employability among  others.

Also, students can access the SSF page  unihub.mdx.ac.uk/ssf and discover workshops, playlists, teasers, videos and more about the Fest!
