Michael Priestley, SMaRteN Student Team member 2018/2019 ![]() This blog was originally delivered as a short talk at The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust Information Evening 2019. In this blog, I aim to synthesise my different perspectives on student mental health and wellbeing in order to shine a light on some of the great work that the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust are currently delivering to support students at universities and colleges. I am 1.) A current student, with lived experience of mental health difficulties; 2.) A student mental health researcher, both through my PhD and as a member of the SMaRteN student research team; and 3.) A student involvement coordinator and student representative on the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust Universities and College Advisory Board. From my different perspectives, I see three key priorities for continuing to improve student mental health going forward.
Against this backdrop, I want to outline the value of the Trust’s three main dimensions of work in universities and colleges.
Ultimately, as a student with lived experience of mental health difficulties, I am delighted to have the opportunity to be involved with the Trust as it works strategically to improve student mental health and wellbeing in universities and colleges as part of a whole institution approach. My role and input with the Trust on resources, training and recruitment stands as a testament to its commitment to valuing, representing and engaging the student voice in the work that they do.
