Student Wellbeing

Student Mental Health: Building Cultures of Wellbeing in Schools and Universities Increasingly, wellbeing is being reframed not as a side issue but as part of the wider challenges of our age, ecological, social, and civic. Human wellbeing is inseparable from the health of ecosystems, while public and occupational health frameworks emphasise the need to address both individuals and the environments in which they live and work (Cousquer et al., 2025).
