Mental Health & Wellbeing

UCL has rich collective expertise in the area of mental health and wellbeing, and activities supported by the Theme of GC MHW will enable this expertise to be harnessed for the benefit of our own university community and society more broadly. The need to work across disciplines to achieve this goal is clear - human beings are complex and embedded in different communities, so no single discipline will have the definitive answers for mental health and wellbeing.

Improving mental health outcomes is an urgent and pressing societal need, and one to which UCL can make an important contribution through research, education and academic expertise, and through our partnerships across healthcare, industry and policy. GC MHW will be supporting activities across these areas over the next five years.

GC MHW is led by Pro-Vice Provosts (Mental Health & Wellbeing) Professors Essi Viding and Argyris Stringaris, and Siobhan Morris Assistant Director Grand Challenges.
