Nurture-U Episode 2: What Works - Testing Solutions

Evidence alone doesn't solve the student mental health crisis. The question is: what actually works? Nurture-U tested three interventions. A mental health literacy course that protected students from the wellbeing dip across the academic year. Digital CBT that produced a surprising finding: guided and unguided versions were equally effective. And a rumination app that prevented depression in students who overthink, with benefits maintained at 12 months. In this episode, Douglas Badenoch talks to the researchers and practitioners who designed, delivered and evaluated these interventions. They explore what the evidence shows, why prevention remains chronically underfunded, and what universities can do right now. Speakers: Professor Ed Watkins (Nurture-U PI, University of Exeter), Dr Lucy Robinson (Newcastle University), Dr Emma Broglia (University of Sheffield), Dr Dominique Thompson (Buzz Consulting, University of Bristol), Liam Snaith, Elsa Saddler (Newcastle University) and Will Parman (University of Oxford). Presented by Douglas Badenoch, The Mental Elf.Find out more at https://www.nurtureuniversity.co.ukSign up for the Nurture-U webinar on June 15th: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/what-universities-can-do-about-student-mental-health-nurture-u-webinar-tickets-1990175904705?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true Hosted on Acast.
