The statistics around student mental health are well documented. One in four university students will experience a mental health condition and, compared with 10 years ago, five times more first-years come to university with a pre-existing mental health condition.
It’s not difficult to see why young people are struggling. The pressure at university is very real; to get the best grades, to have a thriving social life, to get the coolest internship. To lead a carefully curated life that draws the most likes on Instagram and Twitter.
