The Coronavirus pandemic has added another layer of challenge for organisations. Individuals and teams are getting to grips with new ways of working, from the shift to digital relationships and reactive working patterns, to uncertainty in the job market and juggling caring responsibilities.
6 to 24 year olds are particularly vulnerable to mental health issues
75% of mental health problems are established by the age of 25
33% of those who do not complete university blame poor mental health
Universities UK (UUK) has challenged university leaders to ‘adopt mental health as a strategic imperative, implementing a whole university approach, with students and staff involved at all stages of the journey’. The Higher Education #stepchange framework has been developed ‘to support higher education senior teams to adopt a whole university approach to mental health’.
“The Step Change Framework is now four years old and was developed for a pre-COVID-19 world. What we have witnessed as leaders of Higher Educational institutions over the post 18 months is monumental. We are only at the tip of the iceberg in understanding the long-term impact on our people; students and staff. We can no longer just talk about the emotional wellbeing of our people. We need to take action and do so now. We hove a duty of care to the young people and their futures and the teams who support them. We need to ensure they have the time, space and the right professional tools to support their journey.”
