Welcome to Proper Mental episode 100 and this week I chat to Rosie Tressler OBE who is the CEO of Student Minds.
Student Minds is a student mental health charity that is working to empower members of the university community to look after their own mental health, support others and create change.
Rosie has worked in several different aspects of the charity sector and in 2019 she was awarded an OBE for services to Mental Health in Higher Education.
In this episode I chat to Rosie about Student Minds, the work that they do and the support that they offer.
We chat about Rosie’s route in to campaigning and all the different things that she has done in the mental health space and we chat about the sort of mental health problems that can typically affect students, people at universities and anyone who is involved in higher education in some way.
We also get in to the importance of collaboration and the need to speak to as many different people as possible and working together to spread awareness and work towards long term, meaningful policy change.
