For University Mental Health Day 2022, we’re thrilled to present Episode 1 of ‘Keeping Students in Mind: Understanding Student Mental Health Research’, a collaborative podcast brought to you by All Things Mental Health (a mental health podcasting organisation), King’s College London (KCL), and SMaRteN (KCL’s student mental health research network). Episode 1 is in conversation with Aneeska Sohal - the Project Manager for this collaborative project, Jo Ward - SMaRteN’s Network Co-ordinator, and Nicol Bergou - a PhD student at KCL who has a background in mental health and podcasting expertise. Aneeska, Jo and Nicol introduce this exciting project, with its aim to bring the student voice to the heart of student mental health research. After identifying the divide between students’ lived experiences and student mental health research in the sector, the team is working with a dynamic group of students and researchers alike on this project to unite this divide. Students harness their experiences and curiosity around student mental health and interview researchers on their SMaRteN funded student mental health research project. Stay tuned to hear more episodes from this series, as we dismantle contemporary student mental health research, making these findings accessible to students in higher education on a grassroots level through the engaging medium of podcasts. This series sets out to better support students as they navigate their mental health at university.
