LSBU launches staff and wellbeing strategies

11 October 2024

LSBU is continuing to prioritise the health of its community with wellbeing strategies for its students and staff.

Launching on World Mental Health Day (10 October), the strategies have been designed in partnership with our students and staff and reflect the university’s dedication to a whole-university approach to mental health

The strategies are designed to underpin an environment that promotes positive wellbeing as fundamental to the success and retention of our students and staff.

The student wellbeing strategy focuses on belonging, healthy and balanced lifestyle choices, tailored support, embedding wellbeing initiatives from pre-entry to post-graduation, and partnerships.

The staff strategy prioritises psychological safety, changing and improving, belonging, working with a shared purpose, and dynamic collaboration.

Professor Deborah Johnston, Deputy Vice Chancellor, said: “We want LSBU to have a culture where all students and staff should feel psychologically safe, welcomed, included, and respected and have dignity in their studies and at work.

“I’m particularly proud that these strategies are borne out of the most important collaboration of all – they’ve been developed with our community, for our community. It speaks to the real experiences and aspirations of our LSBU community.”
