Mental Health Symposium

2 Mental Health Symposium

Promoting university health and wellbeing The emotional wellbeing of university students and staff is dependent on the seven biopsychosocial components of health and wellbeing—healthy environments, developmental competencies, sense of belonging, healthy behaviours, coping, resilience, and treatment of illness. This presentation will review how personal health promoting behaviours combined with university policies and practices have important roles in creating a healthy university. The Care · Collaborate · Connect model will be presented as a model for developing a culture of coping, where staff and students can support others when they are distressed. Finally, issues of measuring university health and wellbeing will be explored.
