Southport College and KGV Sixth Form College reaffirms commitment to support students and staff with their mental health and wellbeing

Southport College and KGV Sixth Form College have reaffirmed their commitment to staff and students by signing up to a brand new national mental health and wellbeing charter – created by the Association of Colleges in conjunction with mental health experts.

The 11-point document includes commitments to:

  •       Promoting equality of opportunity and challenging mental health stigma
  •       Providing appropriate mental health training for staff
  •       Providing targeted individual mental health support where appropriate

Colleges across England teach and train 2.2 million people each year – including 685,000 young people. Every year, 1 in 10 young people experience a mental health problem and 1 in 5 young people aged 16-24 experience a common mental illness such as anxiety or depression at any one time. Add to these facts, 75% of adults with a diagnosable mental health problem experience their first symptoms before the age of 24 means that with over 2000 students and 150 staff Southport College and KGV Sixth Form College plays a vital role in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of a considerable number of people.

Michelle Brabner Principal at the college said:

“We passionately believe that mental health support of the highest standard should be available to all our students and staff and as a college we work hard to ensure that this is the case. The launch of the Charter further enhances our long-standing commitment to supporting mental health and we fully endorse all the principles and intentions it lays out.

Richard Caulfield, Mental Health lead at the Association of Colleges, said:

“Every single day colleges like Southport provide a world class education and transform the lives of millions of people. This includes providing support for both staff and student wellbeing at the right time, in the right place. This charter gives colleges the chance to publicly state their commitment to the mental health agenda.”

    Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! “Remember It is 10 times harder to command the ear than to catch the eye.” by Duncan Maxwell Anderson.
