Co-producton of a Mental health intervention for University students

What is CoMUni?

CoMUni is a research project with a focus on increasing mental health related help-seeking behaviours in undergraduate students. By working with current students, this research aims to co-develop an intervention that addresses some of the challenges and barriers they face when attempting to seek help. For the last few months, we have been working with a student co-production to develop a resource, which is outlined below.

An overview of CoMUni was also presented in a webinar recently, a recording of which can be found here.

The CoMUni resource

CoMUni is a social media based intervention for undergraduate students, which aims to encourage help-seeking behaviours by increasing levels of mental health knowledge, specifically around the processes of obtaining help.

It hopes to do this by presenting the experiences of a number of undergraduate students seeking help for their mental wellbeing during their university studies. The information presented includes an overview of real student journeys and considers the challenges students face during the help-seeking process (and how these are overcome).
