Hello!

I'm contacting all Undergraduate students across the UK to take part in our National Student Mental Health Survey.

Rates of students' mental ill health are rising, with drop-out rates reaching record levels. Research shows that students are increasingly struggling with high rates of stress, worry, anxiety and procrastination - not just impacting their academic potential, but their experience at University as a whole.

As a counsellor myself, my research is informed by over 10 years' experience supporting students at Universities. This research will develop effective interventions that will help students feel more confident in their abilities, worry and procrastinate less, and flourish more at University.

To do this, I need your help in completing a survey that will establish rates of mental ill health across undergraduates, and the different factors impacting it.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes of your time, and you will not be required to give any personal information - responses are completely anonymous. For more information, and to take part in the survey, please click here (or copy and paste the link into your internet browser):
