Universities Please Do Better for Us | Annie Bocock | TEDxYouth@BrayfordPool

We are facing a current crisis in the UK with our students and it’s a mental health crisis. High rates of reported anxiety and depression, increasing levels of student drop-outs and nothing is seeming to get better quick enough... So what can we do to stop it? Annie takes us on a journey from what university is meant to be for students, why it isn’t there yet and what needs to be done to ensure all students, regardless of background, are able to thrive at university. Annie Bocock is a passionate mental health advocate from Lincoln. After failing her second year at university due to a variety of mental health problems, she has decided to take a break from study to develop herself within work, therapy and other pursuits before hopefully starting a new course within International Development next year. One of those pursuits is within her role as a Press Ambassador for the UK’s leading student mental health charity, Student Minds. She has been able to share a variety of her experiences in the Guardian, BBC Bitesize, the Times Higher Education blog and the Student Minds blog. She hopes that her stories will enable others to reflect on their mental health, that her advice helps students navigate university life better than she did and that she will help spark a much needed drive for universities to provide consistently better mental health support for their students. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
