Peter Fonagy and UCLPartners launch Mind Your Mood, a new mental health service for students

14 February 2022

It isn't easy to ask for help when you’re not feeling great or even if you feel ready to ask, you’re not sure where to go to. Introducing Mind Your Mood, a pilot service from UCLPartners and Koa Health.

How are you feeling?

We have often heard from students that asking for help isn’t easy when you’re not feeling great or even if you feel ready to ask, you’re not sure where to go to. You may also wonder whether the feelings you have are normal or whether you might benefit from mental health support. As a result of this feedback, we have been working together with colleagues at UCLPartners and Koa Health to pilot a new service, called Mind Your Mood, for students who need a bit of help with their mental health. Mind Your Mood will help you better understand your mental health and help you choose appropriate support services, if necessary.

It’s easy to use and works as follows:

  1. Fill in a self-assessment questionnaire to receive an indication of your current mental wellbeing.
  2. Explore ways to get support, with recommendations of services that might be helpful to you.
  3. Connect with services that aid in improving and maintaining your mental health

At this stage, we are piloting the service. In the future, we hope that the service will be able to do even more to help students. After the pilot we hope to provide even more support services and automatically refer to students to the most appropriate service based on the scores from the questionnaires.

Before using the service, it’s important remember the following: 

  • Mind Your Mood is not an emergency service for those experiencing a mental health crisis. If you feel there is an immediate risk of harming yourself, or someone else, you should seek professional help immediately. Call 999 or go straight to your nearest A&E
  • Your results are private and anonymous and will not be shared with the university.
  • Your personal data is carefully protected by the team. Only you will have access to your results.
