Co-created with 11 partner SUs, the programme supports students’ unions to create cultural change and promote positive mental health within their own organisations, their university and wider communities.
The community centred programme has a focus on peer to peer learning and knowledge sharing. It is designed to be responsive to the needs of our community members as they navigate new and local challenges presented by the pandemic.

“The work that Student Minds is doing with Students’ Unions is invaluable. The training day I attended gave me a great insight into how to use co-production in developing a mental health strategy, and how to effectively listen to the student voice to shape it. Not only has this benefitted my work as an officer, I have also been able to work on personal development skills such as conflict resolution, dealing with disclosures and how to build an effective officer team. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Student Minds to any Students’ Unions." Jess Carrier, Welfare and Community Officer, Leeds Beckett SU (2018-2020) “The Student Minds SUs programme has been fundamental in changing the Union's approach and strategy in supporting student mental health through the flexible in house support streams which provide incredible value for money and impact. The network days attended by staff members have helped to refocus what we do and how we do it and start to think differently about how we support our members. The ability to help shape the programme has also acted as a development opportunity and has ensured the programme is delivering on the needs of the collective Unions in the programme”.
