We want all universities to adopt a whole–university approach to mental health, and become places that promote the mental health and wellbeing of all members of the university community.
An individual’s mental health and wellbeing is influenced by a variety of factors, such as their genetics, learned behaviours, social context, and environmental context. The University Mental Health Charter (UMHC) calls for universities to consciously consider their influence over these factors and proactively create environments that promote wellbeing.
