The mental health of students in Cambridge, and its implications for the National Health Service and universities in Cambridge will be discussed by top experts on Wednesday, 11 February at St John’s College in Cambridge.
Hosted by the University of Cambridge’s Counselling Service, it will discuss the findings of a recent Royal College of Psychiatrists Report that found more students are presenting to counselling and student health services, with more severe mental health problems as a serious concern. The goal of the meeting is to create a working party to look at ways of easing liaison between universities and NHS mental health services to support student mental health.
The event will be opened by Professor William Brown, Master of Darwin College. The event will include a talk by Dr Mike Hobbs, Chair of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Student Mental Health Working Group. The discussion panel will include representatives from the University of Cambridge, Anglia Polytechnic University, Division of Psychiatry NHS, and the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Attendees will include representatives in the NHS, local General Practitioners, and staff with pastoral care responsibilities with both universities.
The meeting will be held from 4-7 pm at The Fisher Building, St John’s College, Cambridge.
