Abstract
Student mental health is intricately linked to teaching and learning across disciplines. The seminar will share insights from a site visit to The University of Melbourne, a Universitas21 partner institution and Orygen, Australia’s National Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health, where the U21 University Mental Health Declaration and the Australian University Mental Health Framework were recently developed. Discussions will be surrounding the emergence of whole university approach to mental health, with youth/student participation as key, and experiential learning opportunities to synergise efforts in promoting mental health and wellbeing. A Wellness@HKU initiative will be introduced.
