Session 39: Curriculum for wellbeing: year 2, growth, findings and reflections

Abstract

Last year, the Curriculum for Wellbeing was trialled in one module of the Education Studies and Primary programme in the School of Education with the results presented at the Students at the Heart 2023. The Curriculum for Wellbeing was created as a response to the rising number of student referrals to student advice and wellbeing (SAW) within the university and seeks to embed emotional regulation strategies into modules to increase students’ knowledge of how to adaptively manage their mental health and stress. Responses last year indicated that the approach should continue with benefits largely felt by the students taking part. As a response to this the strategy has been embedded in additional modules across a greater number of programmes including cross-faculty work with the Business school. The findings and reflections from the roll-out of this approach will be presented including both qualitative and quantitative data from questionnaires, focus groups and reflections from the students and lecturers involved in the project. Future directions and limitations will be discussed and concluding comments made.
