Community wellbeing

GCU is committed to fostering a values-led learning community of students, staff and alumni with a culture of openness, trust and awareness of health and wellbeing. We aim to create an environment that supports and promotes positive mental and physical health.

Regular staff and student engagement surveys, discussions at team meetings and the strong and visible commitment of leaders to creating an inclusive and positive culture are key to achieving our vision. Awareness of mental health and wellbeing is threaded through our leadership and management development programmes to build mental health literacy and give all staff the skills and confidence to have good conversations about wellbeing.

The University regularly hosts events and awareness-raising campaigns to tackle mental health issues in a supportive and authentic way, create an open culture and encourage engagement with the available support.
