Collegiate UK, a leading provider of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) across 21 cities in the UK, has reaffirmed its dedication to student and employee welfare by implementing Mental Health First Aid training for all its general managers.
In a proactive effort to address the mental health needs of its student residents and to support its expanding workforce, Collegiate UK staff members have completed an extensive Mental Health First Aid course facilitated by MHFA England. This training is designed to equip general managers with the skills necessary to identify and address mental health challenges among residents.
Mental Health Guidance and Support
As part of Collegiate UK’s ongoing commitment to fostering a supportive community environment, the Mental Health First Aid course will be extended to all general managers. This initiative ensures that each site will have at least one trained individual capable of providing mental health guidance and support.
This move underscores Collegiate UK’s dedication to enhancing mental health provisions for both its employees and student residents. The company already maintains strategic partnerships with ‘Health Assured’ and ‘Student Minds,’ providing students with round-the-clock access to mental health resources and counselling services.
A Safe and Nurturing Environment
Collegiate UK’s hands-on approach ensures that students have access to the support they need at any time, fostering a safe and nurturing living environment that is conducive to both academic success and personal wellbeing. The company prides itself on delivering exceptional student experiences by creating living environments that reflect ambition, enhance wellbeing, and support studies.
Strategic Growth and Leadership
In addition to its mental health initiatives, Collegiate UK recently announced the appointment of Michael Lau as Head of Projects. Lau’s role will be to enhance the company’s operating capabilities and to drive its next phase of growth.
By prioritizing mental health support and strategic leadership, Collegiate UK continues to demonstrate its commitment to the welfare and success of its student residents and employees.
