Mindapples for universities is all about building mentally healthy campuses by promoting simple daily habits for mental wellbeing.
Our mission is to make looking after our minds as natural as brushing our teeth, fostering long-term mental health and resilience across the entire university community. Through digital tools, learning programmes and community-building events, we work with university services to put mental health at the heart of life and work, for students and staff alike.
We’ve been working with universities since 2011 and have partnered with over 100 UK universities to support student wellbeing teams, student services, welfare officers and counselling services in destigmatising mental health and encouraging everyone to take better care of their minds. We’re a familiar face at Freshers’ Fairs and University Mental Health Days, helping students to manage stress, navigate exam pressure and adjust to university life with habits that boost both academic success and personal wellbeing.
With our new Wellbeing Competency Framework, we can deliver evidence-based training and practical resources that equip people to take charge of their wellbeing and support their peers. By promoting self-care, resilience and peer support we aim to create healthier, stronger university communities.
This isn’t about teaching students positive thinking or prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s about equipping people with practical knowledge and tools that they can use to understand their minds and develop their own self-management skills. The Mindapples approach empowers students and staff to make informed decisions about of their mental health and take control of their wellbeing, which is good for them and good for their universities.
