RSPH Health & Wellbeing Awards - Health at Every Age Winner

Nottingham Trent University 

Nottingham Trent University's Health Promotion programme aims to reduce mental health stigma and discrimination to ensure all students have the opportunity to be able to look after a mate’s and their own mental health and be better informed on where to get specific support. The programme does this via training and awareness raising.
 

 

 

An excellent programme with evidence of a wide range of delivery methods and resources to improve student mental health wellbeing. Strong partnerships have been established with local and national partners and initiatives, and the programme continues to grow and attract both participants in training and in the development of the Mental Health Champion role.

We feel privileged and excited to be selected as finalists for the Royal Society of Public Health Awards, in the ‘Health at Every Age’ category.

Healthy NTU is a key primary prevention programme that aims to reduce stigma and build positive attitudes to self-care to support the mental health and wellbeing of our students. It is really important that our students have the opportunity to look after both their own mental health and support their friends to be better informed about where to get the right support. Core to this is the training that we offer to students, having a peer led programme, and delivering campaigns that follow the student’s emotional journey.  We really value the contribution our partners make in supporting students to achieve success.

We are delighted to see the programme receiving recognition, because we feel ‘Look after your Mates’ is crucial to empowering our students; by looking after ourselves we can increase our capacity to look after each other.  We’d like to thank RSPH for this opportunity and we’re really looking forward to seeing you all at the Award’s evening.
