Dr Nicola Eccles is Head of Mental Health and Wellbeing at Aspire, an eLearning platform supporting students, graduates and those in the workplace, with a focus on supporting disabled students in higher education.
This year’s theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is anxiety. In this conversation with Dr Nicola, we talk about why Aspire felt our 24/7, confidential text service could help support their mental wellbeing offering to students, including those who are experiencing feelings of anxiety and stress.
Aspire partnered with our Shout text service in 2021, offering students and graduates support via text message by texting the word ‘ASPIRE’ to 85258.
