The number of students in HE with mental health problems is increasing, and this brings new challenges. Additionally, mental health problems are the third most common cause of sickness absence.

Academic issues for students with mental health problems
Staffing issues regarding mental health and the Disability Discrimination Act, etc.
Supporting staff with mental health problems
Please don't worry that you will have to become an expert on mental health all in one day - it is more a case of ensuring that you know enough about where to obtain appropriate help for affected students and/or staff, rather than having to deal with it all yourself.
