It is well recognised that there is a mental health and well-being crisis in graduate education, with a high number of PhD students developing a psychiatric condition during their studies.

In the context of declining state health support, it is increasingly falling to universities to offer support to their students. While universities are getting increasingly proactive around student mental health and well-being, as the National Union of Students acknowledges, provision can overlook the needs of postgraduates.

The PhD Life Raft offers a space to discuss pressing issues; explore possible strategies; and provide sources of support for your doctoral journey.
