Mental Health and Wellbeing at Greenwich
We’re committed to providing comprehensive Mental Health support and promoting a culture of wellbeing at the University of Greenwich.
We are excited to share our progress towards achieving the Student Minds’ University Mental Health Charter Award.
In September 2025, we submitted our UMHC Award Accreditation self-assessment report and accompanying evidence, alongside Greenwich Student Union’s student-led report.
The next stage of the UMHC assessment process includes an on-site visit from the external assessment team. Over two days in November, three assessors will visit Greenwich to speak with staff and students about our submission and their own experiences, and will include a guided tour of the campus.
Student Minds' University Mental Health Charter
The University Mental Health Charter framework provides a set of evidence-informed principles to support universities across the UK in making mental health a university-wide priority. The Charter is comprised of 18 themes and 102 evidence-informed Principles of Good Practice.
Find out more about the UMHC Framework and the Principles of Good Practice on the Student Minds' webpages.
Our work towards achieving the UMHC
At Greenwich, we are assessing our progress against these principles to understand our areas of strength and on-going development.
Obtaining the UMHC Award will acknowledge our continuous commitment to embedding mental health and wellbeing support for both staff and students. Find out more about the Student Minds 'University Mental Health Charter' Award accreditation.
Beyond achieving the UMHC Award, the university is committed to continuous improvement for mental health and wellbeing support. In our self-assessment report we also recognise opportunities for development to build on existing mental health initiatives and create new ones.
