Universities are in a dire situation: staff cuts, course repeals, corporatisation of research and teaching. We need intervention, especially by governments at different levels.

ABSTRACTSixteen careers advisers based in five Scottish universities were asked a range of questions designed to explore possible impacts of alterations in student mental health and wellbeing on their practice. Throughcombining key insights from a critical analysis of the relevant literatureand policy documents with others that were gleaned from the viewsof practitioners themselves, evidence is provided for conclusions whichsuggest that shifts in how universities support psychological health maynot only fuel concerns but also change how students and careersadvisers engage in one-to-one careers guidance appointments.Recommendations were first that given these holistic mental health andwellbeing policies may well be contributing to a poorer studentoutlook, then they should be reviewed immediately. Secondly, as thesepreventative approaches have obliged careers advisers to change howthey work with students, their ongoing role, training and practicerequires pressing reappraisal.

Really interesting new qual paper about university careers advisors, and how they feel their job increasingly involves support, guidance and discussions about students' mental health

Want to find waste & corruption in the govt? The deportation industrial complex has lots! With just a few exceotions, there is no reason to lock up immigrants. The for-profit companies that live off govt contracts donate to the GOP & push for more detention.
