Network of student well-being officers create connections

A student well-being officer was recently appointed at each faculty. These faculty well-being officers are close to the students, which makes it easier to organise engaging activities that align with the faculty or a degree programme even.

They want there to be more attention and support for the well-being of all the students at the University. On 20 January they held their first bi-weekly meeting to share best practices and work together on student well-being.

The aim for the future is that student well-being is not just a concept, but that during their studies students learn skills to help them deal with mental-health problems. And that it is normal to have the conversation about this with others.
