Mental Health & Wellbeing

UCL's Grand Challenge of Mental Health & Wellbeing's mission is to become a beacon for improvements in mental health and wellbeing through transformative cross-disciplinary research, practice and partnerships

UCL has rich collective expertise in the area of mental health and wellbeing, and activities supported by the Grand Challenge of听Mental Health & Wellbeing听will enable this expertise to be harnessed for the benefit of our own university community and society more broadly. The need to work across disciplines to achieve this goal is clear - human beings are complex and embedded in different communities, so no single discipline will have the definitive answers for mental health and wellbeing.听

听

Improving mental health outcomes is an urgent and pressing societal need, and one to which UCL can make an important contribution through cross-disciplinary research and innovation, education and academic expertise, and through partnerships across healthcare, industry and policy. UCL's Grand Challenge of Mental Health & Wellbeing will be supporting activities across these areas over the next five years.听

GC MHW is led by Pro-Vice Provosts (Mental Health & Wellbeing) Professors Essi Viding and Argyris Stringaris, and Siobhan Morris, Assistant Director Grand Challenges.听
