Episode 06 - Student support and mental health

Nurturing Bright Futures - HE Advice from UEA

This month we discuss all the areas of support that your students can access when they arrive at UEA (as well as during their transition period), from finance and mental well-being to academic support and study skills. We’re joined by Kamena, one of the co-creators of Open Up UEA, a new app which helps students to build on their emotional resilience, pin down how they’re feeling and how to deal with issues they might face. Not only does the app sign-post all the support provision available at UEA, it also highlights the public services and facilities in the wider Norwich area. It handily includes budgeting tools and cheap recipes to help students manage their finances too. If you or a colleague would be interested in working with the Open Up team to develop a similar app for your school, you can get in touch with Kamena by emailing [e-mail]. Open Up UEA is available to download now on iTunes and Android.
