Embedding Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Curriculum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/p>\n

The multi-disciplinary team at UEA have been working on embedding mental health in the curriculum over the last 12 months, as part of a collaborative project with Advance HE. Despite (and perhaps even because of) the upheaval in Higher Education caused by Covid19, the project has made good progress in some areas. In this presentation, we will report on progress so far, encompassing, university systems, assessment and assessment literacy, student skills and identity and the role of communications in promotion good mental health. We\u2019ll discuss how we have collaborated across teams at UEA and how we intend to approach the evaluation of the project\u2019s long term outcomes.<\/p>\n
