Mental Health and Wellbeing
Ensuring students feel they belong to a community that supports their wellbeing and resilience.
Students can experience different types of mental health issues that affect their ability to study. The team at Trinity Hall has been leading the way in mental health support in recent years, embracing recommendations from the University’s strategic review of mental health.
We have adopted a “stepped care approach,” which enables the College to focus on prevention and low-severity cases. We deliver expert assessment and triage to enable students get the right support at the right time, and we provide well-being advice and support via an evidence-based approach, i.e. support that is shown to have worked. Where students experience moderate or high-severity issues, we escalate and refer them into the more specialised University Student Support Services, the NHS or specialist services.
By focusing our efforts on lower-severity cases and prevention we embed wellbeing and resilience in our day-to-day activities across the College.
Our community approach fosters an environment in which students can flourish academically and personally. Inclusive teaching practices, opportunities for social connection, creativity, physical activity, study skills support and stress management workshops all play a role.
Our Aim
- Continue to support our wellbeing team to focus on prevention and low-severity cases in line with the University’s strategic review of mental health.
