In this week’s episode, Jenna Luxon, a Social and Political Sciences graduate from the University of York, is joined by postdoctoral researcher Dr Emma Broglia from the University of Sheffield. The two discuss Emma’s research into mental health interventions in higher education, focusing on the thoughts and experiences of those students with long-term mental health conditions.
The episode starts with Emma telling us about her recent research project exploring how university mental health services in the UK can strengthen their relationship with NHS services and the benefits of this collaboration.
Jenna and Emma then go on to discuss to what extent university mental health services in the UK can accurately be described as offering a ‘one size fits all’ approach to students’ support.
Finally, they take a look at whether the increase in demand for mental health services over recent years has forced universities to take a more short-term focus in their support for students and consider what this means for students with long term mental health conditions.
