Student Minds Petition

Today, 49% of young people (17 to 30) enter higher education. According to the National Union of Students, 20% of these individuals are experiencing a mental health problem. That’s a lot of students.

Students need support between home and university to be joined up. Without careful planning, students who have only recently been discharged from a service move to university and do not have access to support for the crucial first months at university. Early and continuous support is the best way to ensure that a student’s condition does not deteriorate, which might otherwise require them to drop out of university.

Sign the petition to ensure all UK students have access to consistent care pathways catering to their needs.
