Mental wellbeing in higher education is where all staff and students can work and learn productively, contributing to and engaging with university life and their community while coping with life’s normal stresses. It is important to consider that poor mental health and mental wellbeing do not need to exist in parallel. An individual can have a good sense of mental wellbeing yet be living with a diagnosed mental illness. 

Institutions should strive to maintain the optimum wellbeing of their staff and student population by providing the appropriate tools and support to allow them to engage productively with the learning experience.
