Supporting disabled students
Students with physical or mental health conditions or learning differences will find a variety of support available in higher education. However, advance research and preparation can make all the difference – here, we outline some of the ways you can help your students make a successful transition to university.
Supporting students with mental health conditions
Students can access a variety of support to manage their mental health and wellbeing in higher education - ranging from help with a specific condition through to ways they can look after their general wellbeing. Some students may be hesitant to tell their university, so we've worked with experts (including Student Minds and the University Mental Health Advisers' Network (UMHAN)) to explain the process of declaration to your students, and offer practical ways to help them manage the transition to independence. It's good to remember that other personal circumstances can create additional challenges and stress, so making sure students have the right support for their needs will offer them the best start to university.
