Jordan Elliott

Student Advisory Board member; MBBS Student, Imperial College London

As a second year MBBS student from Imperial College London, I have had the opportunity to reflect on the importance of mental health at university on both a professional and a personal level. Currently, I am the community engagement officer for the working-class at Imperial, which involves promoting equity between groups at university to ensure personal development is achievable for every individual. 

Previously, I have worked with a small group of co-creators to identify changes that could reduce discrimination related to mental health, race, and sexuality at university. Updating practices to protect student welfare taught me the importance of identifying different needs when addressing an issue, like mental health. Having personally experienced the stark impact that an environment that encourages good mental health can have on attainment and well-being, I look forward to utilising my previous experience and passion for social justice in the PsychUP for Wellbeing programme.
