The aim of the project Stimulating Curriculum and Teaching Innovations was to build the capacity of university educators to develop policies, curriculum, and teaching and learning environments that enhance student mental wellbeing. The growing prevalence and severity of mental health difficulties across student populations in higher education is an issue of significant concern for universities. This project aimed to foster sector wide conversations, promote a whole-of-institution approach to promoting student mental wellbeing in universities and develop a suite of research-informed resources to help academic educators identify curriculum and teaching approaches that can promote and support students’ mental wellbeing.
