Think Positive

Whilst mental ill health is believed to affect one quarter of people in Scotland, students face a unique mixture of additional
pressures, including financial pressures, moving away from their support network, deadlines, exams, living with strangers, future career opportunities and not knowing how to access services.

• In 2020 Think Positive research students cited a range of factors associated with study as impacting negatively on their
  mental health: almost half (48.7%) cited coping with course workload.
• In 2021 Thriving Learners University research highlighted that nearly three-quarters (73.5%) of respondents reported having
  low wellbeing.
• In 2022 Thriving Learners College research found that a third (33%) of college students had been bullied in the last semester.

Think Positive works directly with colleges, universities and students’ associations across Scotland and is well placed to help bring this information together for students and staff to easily access.
