Open to all
Summary
Student mental health has never been higher on the agenda, thanks to the impact of COVID-19. Universities and colleges are working hard to connect students to the right support but many students remain reluctant to share an existing mental health condition in their application, which can lead to them not accessing vital support. As teachers and advisers play a crucial role in helping young people understand why UCAS asks about mental health, this session will clarify what happens to this information once an application is submitted, the benefits of declaring, and the different types of support students may access in HE.
