The role of the education providers in promoting well-being will be explored along with evidence based support framework that can be utilised in the learning environment, such as;
• general support that is easily accessible, transparent and timely,
• preventative support such as activities that help with resilience and personal and professional support sessions and

The facilitators will particularly focus on the roles of faculty and peers in student support; the evidence based staff development framework will explore difficult conversations and provide sufficient tools for delegates to feel confident in the strategies discussed. The likely student concerns that present will be reviewed with activities and role-play including study, relationships, financial, physical illness, mental health. Case-based scenarios will explore how delegates have responded previously and how best to triage with local guidelines and policies in mind.
