Nurture-U Episode 1: The Evidence — What 14,000 Students Taught Us
from The Mental Elf
What does the largest longitudinal study of UK student mental health tell us about who struggles, what protects them, and where universities should focus? Nurture-U surveyed 14,000 students across five universities over three academic years. The findings are clear and some are surprising. Half of students experience high levels of loneliness. Marginalised groups are most at risk. And the protective factors that make the biggest difference aren't expensive or mysterious. Featuring Professor Ed Watkins (Nurture-U PI, University of Exeter), Dr Jacks Bennett (Bristol Medical School), Otilia Puiu (UCL) and Audrey Fok (University of Exeter).
