Our research covers a range of topics related to the health and wellbeing of university students and staff. Below are some of our recent research projects with links to the related programs we’ve developed.
Our research involves equipping health practitioners and students with the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and confidence to work with people who are distressed, including those who have thoughts of suicide. It includes studies on coping, stigma, training, and phenomenology.

The project, to be piloted and implemented at UniSA in Whyalla and Mount Gambier, will see the development of resources, including a web resource that will provide a training package for regional staff to deliver support services related to academic literacies, engagement and well-being of students.

This project will increase graduate resilience and employability for a globalised world through developing and piloting a resilience framework, and a fully resourced development program to build academics’ capacity to embed resilience into the curriculum at the crucial ‘tipping point’ when students are expected to transition from the classroom to fieldwork.
