This project acknowledges and identifies that there are benefits of embedding mental wellbeing for students, practitioners or programmes, and institutions (including Students’ Unions). Benefits are measurable improvements from outcomes as seen by stakeholders that may be realised during an activity or a long time after an activity has concluded. For example, a student may instantly acknowledge the learning gained from an activity but it may be some time before this is recognised by a ratified award outcome.

For each of the examples within this resource the project team have identified the primary benefits that you may experience if you replicate this example within your own context. The project team encourages you to explore examples that may be appropriate for your context, you may want to start by asking ‘what is the benefit I am are trying to achieve from implementing this activity?’.
