HEALING 101: Dr David Sturgeon on supporting the mental health of students

On today's HEALING 101, I'm joined by Dr. David Sturgeon, a consultant psychiatrist at UCL. David has worked for students for many years and it was fascinating for me to talk to him about the mental health of students and to ask him all about why depression and anxiety is most commonly found amongst them and what he thinks universities can do to help prevent this.

I would love for you all to sign this petition to create a statutory legal duty of care for students: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/622847/signatures/new

Hurt to Healing

Welcome to the Hurt to Healing podcast with me, Pandora Morris. I’ve been fighting an uphill battle with my mental health for years and it’s only now that I’ve started to see some glimmers of light. It’s almost unbelievable to think I am starting this podcast considering my incessant compulsions would normally try to talk me out of it. But here I am, continuing to fight my invisible bullies one day at a time.

As part of my own recovery, I’ve made it my mission to support as many of you as possible on your own healing journey. I’ll be speaking to wonderful people from all walks of life who will open up about their own invisible struggles in the hope that it will provide a bit of solace and comfort for some of you. I’ll also be speaking to leading experts and doctors about different disorders and therapies that might help each of you expand your knowledge on the world of mental health.
