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.
