Who is it for?

This digital tool for college and university staff, officers and students enables users to go on a journey, exploring different experiences of mental health and looking at how to support students.

Remember

Working with students should always focus on the individual; this tool simply aims to give an example of what conversations might look like and how better support might be offered. There are no right or wrong routes – but the scenarios and feedback provided have been developed to help better equip those working with students. Your journey can follow many paths with each of the characters – so we recommend you keep going back to try them all.

To start working with a student, enter your details then hover over a student picture and click.
