University Centre Leeds is one of 32 institutions to become a member of a new charter programme for mental health. 

The University Mental Health Charter Programme has been launched to bring together institutions that are committed to making mental health and wellbeing a top priority in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Led by UK student mental health charity, Student Minds, the initiative aims to create a UK-wide network where best practice can be shared so institutions can better support the mental health of students and staff. 

This includes a commitment to: 

• Make mental health a priority 

• Work with staff and students to provide properly resourced and effective support services 

• Create a culture that promotes good mental health for the whole college community 

We are welcoming staff and students to get involved in achieving the Mental Health Charter Award. This might include attending workshops, sharing your personal experience or providing ideas about what we can do as an institution to make mental health and wellbeing a top priority.  

You can get in touch by emailing emma.lockwood@ucleeds.ac.uk or sasha.joseph@ucleeds.ac.uk.
