Promoting Mental Health & Wellbeing in Doctoral Supervision
Thursday 14 May | 12.30-17.00| The Foundling Museum, Brunswick Sq, London
A recent study by the University of California suggested that 47% of PhD students were living with depression; this rose to 64% in the Arts & Humanities. In Higher Education we have a collective responsibility to promote the wellbeing of both our students and each other.
This workshop is designed to offer practical advice, tools, and ideas for creating a supportive environment for everyone involved in the doctoral supervision process.
