The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC), in collaboration with CSA Group (a global leader in standards development), has championed the development of the National Standard of Canada for Mental Health and Well-Being for Post-Secondary Students. This voluntary Standard is the first of its kind in the world; it builds on the exceptional work of Canada’s post-secondary institutions and seeks to inspire further actions through principle-led approaches. The MHCC has also designed a Starter Kit to support post-secondary institutions as they begin aligning with the Standard, as well as a Self-Assessment Tool so they can understand their strengths, gaps and opportunities for action.

Dec 01, 2020 | Orygen: The National Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health
Following the 2017 release of the Orygen report, Under the radar: the mental health of Australian university students, funding to develop an Australian University Mental Health Framework (the framework) was provided through a grant from the Australian Government Department of Health. The framework was developed through extensive consultation with students, and university and mental health sector stakeholders. The framework provides guidance for mentally healthy university settings that support student mental health and wellbeing in collaboration with the mental health sector. The framework is structured around six principles that support student mental health and wellbeing and may inspire discussion, promote new thinking and interventions, and facilitate evaluation and learning.
