Target audience: Doctoral researchers at any stage from all disciplines.

Looking Out for One Another is a workshop for all doctoral researchers who are looking to support fellow researchers who may be struggling with their mental health. You will gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to support your peers while also looking after your own mental health.

This workshop has been developed by the Understanding the Mental Health of Doctoral Researchers (U-DOC) team at the University of Sussex in collaboration with Student Minds, the Student Mental Health UK charity. This workshop is based on U-DOC findings from a programme of research focused on doctoral researcher mental health and wellbeing, funded by the Office for Students/Research England.

This workshop is new and one of the initiatives of the wider mental health and wellbeing support and resources for doctoral researchers. Other workshops that are being developed include Looking After Yourself during the PhD and Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Supervisory relationship (for supervisors only). Further support includes the Student Life Centre, University Counselling Service, and Student Support Unit. For more information and resources, please visit the Doctoral School’s Wellbeing page.
