Emotional wellbeing

From a student's perspective, the university is to educate and help them develop their careers. University life also presents students with the opportunity for greater independence and to develop problem-solving skills they can use in everyday life. University life however also presents students with many challenges such as living within a budget, making relationships, and managing study demands. For some students, this can be challenging and affect their resiliency and therefore their ability to bounce back from daily challenges faced. Over time struggling to meet everyday challenges at university can increase the likelihood of students experiencing mental health difficulties.
Efforts made by universities to address the emotional well-being of students are largely targeted at treating mental health difficulties once they begin to impact their study and daily lives. However, continuing to invest in and expand student well-being services to meet demand and avoid long waiting times is becoming increasingly unrealistic. Another approach to addressing increased demand to treat mental health difficulties could be to enable students to become more resilient in the face of challenges they are faced with before such difficulties emerge.
An approach based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and delivered by a psychological practitioner has recently been developed to enhance resiliency. The intervention follows four steps, whereby the student is supported to identify their strengths to construct a Personal Model of Resilience and apply this to a challenge being faced. In doing so they will hopefully realise the strengths they have in other areas of their life and be able to apply these to enhance their resiliency and overcome challenges they are struggling with.
