Student Mental Health: Identify-Respond-Support

November 9, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm

In response to extremely positive feedback from previous delegates, Open Forum Events are pleased to be once again hosting the highly insightful Student Mental Health conference on 9 November 2022. Focusing on the many challenges that students face throughout their educational journey that can impact on their mental wellbeing, this fourth event is well anticipated and is an important addition to a series of health and social care meetings.

Issues such as transitioning through the various educational stages, expectations to achieve, undertaking exams, socialisation and peer pressure can all induce stress and impact on the ability to cope. These concerns have been prevalent amongst the student population for all time; however, as Covid-19 continues to circulate throughout society, with continued uncertainty, the mental health of students and young people has accumulatively deteriorated and continues to be negatively impacted at scale and pace.

This must-attend conference will feature some of the leading authorities on student matters and will look to establish the extent of the problem, discuss some of the causes, identify risk and seek potential solutions. The programme incorporates key presentations from speakers with both personal and professional experience, as well as allocated time for questions and discussion, interactive engagement and casual networking.

Special Offer

In partnership with Embrace Resilience, Open Forum is offering all delegates a package of free e-learning courses worth £60 when they register for this event.

These courses are used widely across mental health, health and care sectors, and meet CQC requirements for training and development. In addition to the courses, delegates will have free access to download a toolkit including planners and journals to help with their own personal resilience.
