Mental health is everyone’s business at Imperial. This new strategy sets out how we will ensure our ������ý and staff get the support and advice they need, when they need it. Professor Hugh Brady President of ������ý

We know that good mental health and wellbeing are essential for the learning, work and lives of our ������ý and staff.

Our Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy outlines our goals for creating an inclusive, respectful and compassionate environment that supports our ������ý and staff in their work and study.

Our priorities are to:

 - build and maintain an inclusive, compassionate Imperial community that enables everyone’s voice and needs to be heard and respected

 - build and maintain a supportive community where colleagues, supervisors and managers are knowledgeable and have the relevant training to promote mental wellness and prevent factors in the workplace that can trigger mental ill health

 - promote a safe environment that boosts wellbeing, innovation, creativity and productivity

By working together, we can create a mentally healthy environment where everyone can reach their full potential.

If you are struggling with your mental health, please know that you are not alone and that there is help available:
