“…Additional consideration should also be given to the format in which support is advertised and delivered, as many students feel overwhelmed with emails and desire a certain level of face-to-face communication. Our data are corroborated by Querstret (2019) who suggested a combined approach of digital and in-person support to give students the option to seek support in the format that best suits them.…”

This book contains the full text of papers and posters presented at the International Conference on Education and New Developments (END 2022), organized by the World Institute for Advanced Research and Science (WIARS).Education, in our contemporary world, is a right since we are born. Every experience has a formative effect on the constitution of the human being, in the way one thinks, feels and acts. One of the most important contributions resides in what and how we learn through the improvement of educational processes, both in formal and informal settings. The International Conference seeks to provide some answers and explore the processes, actions, challenges and outcomes of learning, teaching and human development. The goal is to offer a worldwide connection between teachers, students, researchers and lecturers, from a wide range of academic fields, interested in exploring and giving their contribution in educational issues. We take pride in having been able to connect and bring together academics, scholars, practitioners and others interested in a field that is fertile in new perspectives, ideas and knowledge.We counted on an extensive variety of contributors and presenters, which can supplement our view of the human essence and behavior, showing the impact of their different personal, academic and cultural experiences. This is, certainly, one of the reasons we have many nationalities and cultures represented, inspiring multi-disciplinary collaborative links, fomenting intellectual encounter and development.END 2022 received 790 submissions, from more than 45 different countries, reviewed by a double-blind process. Submissions were prepared to take form of Oral Presentations, Posters, Virtual Presentations and Workshops. The conference accepted for presentation 263 submissions (33% acceptance rate), from which, 233 submissions are published in full text in these volumes.

“…The current study examines and reports on both facilitators and barriers equally, with the facilitator perspective being important to provide a base to build on to effectively improve access to services. Further, current literature seldom examines these topics from only a stakeholder perspective, creating a current gap in the literature (Querstret, 2019). This study provides a unique lens on the facilitators and barriers experienced by students, since service providers can provide an established opinion, given many of the participants in this study have been addressing student mental health firsthand for several years.…”

“…Although several facilitators and barriers have been identified for mental health help-seeking, these factors are often self-reported by students, with the service provider perspective being largely underreported (Querstret, 2019). Stakeholders represent an important view of the accessibility and effectiveness of mental health services.…”

The prevalence of mental illness is increasing among post-secondary students. Despite more mental health services being of-fered within post-secondary institutions, uptake among students remains suboptimal. This study aimed to examine facilitators and barriers for students seeking mental health services through service providers’ perspectives. Twenty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted at a southwestern Ontario post-secondary institution and were analyzed using thematic analysis using NVivo. Facilitators revealed include strengthening communication techniques; improving equity, diversity, and inclu-sion; increasing social media promotion; and providing incentives. Barriers identified include fear of judgement, time con-straints, individual perceptions of the need for services, unawareness, and higher-level barriers such as lowered capacity of staff and physical resources. These facilitators and barriers should be used in tandem with the Theory of Planned Behaviour to help improve uptake and effectiveness of campus mental health services.

“…The number of students in higher education institutions (HEIs) encountering issues with their well-being is increasing every year, with 96% of HEIs reporting that their well-being services have experienced an increase in demand in the past five years (Worsley, Pennington, & Corcoran, 2020). Only 1 in 3 students struggling with their well-being seek support, citing stigma as the main barrier, followed by lack of knowledge of the support services available (Querstret, 2019). There are also many students who lack the skills to identify themselves as struggling in the first place, thereby needing support whilst also not having the capability and/or motivation to do so (Field, Duffy, & Huggins, 2015).…”

“…Increasing emphasis has been put on the importance of including student voices in the development of academic and well-being supports (Querstret, 2019) as this will help foster autonomy, self-determination and user empowerment which are all key to developing successful well-being supports (Baik, Larcombe, & Brooker, 2019). To date, there remains a gap in our knowledge around what students themselves view as the essential actions that HEIs could be adopting to better support their success and well-being.…”

"The number of university students encountering issues with their well-being is increasing every year, with many struggling to seek appropriate support or lacking the necessary skills to identify themselves as struggling. One of the biggest factors affecting this is academic pressure due to being ill-prepared for the independent learning skills required at university, such as self-management and self-regulation, for which many still need support. To understand what these support needs are, four focus groups were carried out with university students across multiple programmes and stages. These were recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis. Four key themes are presented: (1) supports at university are often impersonal and unapproachable in nature, (2) importance of holistic well-being and personal development literacy to enable students to thrive at university, (3) need for better awareness and sign-posting of available supports, and (4) peer influences can have a substantial positive and/or negative effect on students. The implications of these are discussed in relation to improving supports, the importance of involving varied student voices throughout this process is highlighted, and further research steps are discussed."
