On 28th October we held a webinar on supporting student mental health through the transition to university.
Our fantastic panel were Michelle Morgan (University of East London), Kelly Norwood (Ulster University), Margaret McLafferty (Ulster University), Daria Gralewska (Ulster University), and Aja Murray (University of Edinburgh)
The session included each panellist giving an overview of their activity, with projects including a mixture of research work, data analysis, and interventions currently running at UK universities.
This was followed by a panel discussion and opportunity to ask questions. This will be chaired by our very own Alyson Dodd from SMaRteN.
Please check back for a recording of the session and further information about future activity related to the projects.
