Mental Health and Wellbeing Framework The University is committed to providing an excellent education and experience, and building a community of great people. Our mental health action plans show how the University and the Students’ Union are working together to promote mental, physical and financial wellbeing and a shared sense of community for all students and colleagues. Our key themes We have identified four inter-dependent action themes, which underpin our student and colleague action plans. Physical wellbeing Mental and emotional Community and Financial wellbeing wellbeing environment

Sport and Active Lifestyles Health & Performance Social Sport Competition Wellbeing - A much more varied offer with more flexible opportunities to take part - Turn up and play - Social Leagues - Lifestyle Courses Must not lose focus of competition and performance sport but we should have an offer for all.

Student Wellbeing Referral Programme A new programme in partnership with Student Wellbeing Services started in September 2018 1200 Student Wellbeing Referrals 2017-2018 Rationale 1. To support students seeking mental health support from Student Wellbeing 2. To help reduce the number of students accessing Student Wellbeing services. Delivery • Mental Health practitioners refer students to Sport and Active Lifestyles for a 10 week physical activity programme • Programme measures - Warwick Edinburgh Scale/Case Studies

The Future • Currently crisis mangement rather than preventative measures. • Opportunities to refer to S&AL from academic tutors, residence officers and the student experience team. • Engage more students in a wider and more varied programme of activity from the start! • On a strategic level ensure that UET and senior management understand the importance of Sport and Active Lifestyles in supporting student and staff health and wellbeing.

Additional Work • Support for coaches • Mental Health in Sport training • State of Mind current AU charity
