What is the role of a Mental Health Mentor?


The aim of mental health mentoring is to provide support that enables a student to more independently manage their mental health condition and reduce the potential impact of the condition on their studies.

Mentors can assist students in identifying barriers to their success and adopt more effective study strategies. They may address the student's expectations of themselves and others, address timetabling issues and clarify goals.

Students may also benefit from support that helps them manage the impact of a recent diagnosis or the effects of medication on their studies.
