[…]having difficulties. We are concerned that the mental health of students will likely worsen with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is appreciation for the third level mental health funding that was recently secured but there also needs to be recognition of the need for sustainable annual core funding to ensure support services are accessible and available at the highest standard when a person reaches out. “USI strongly believes there is a need for a sustainable whole system approach to students’ mental health in higher education.

[…]health only receives approximately six per cent out of the overall health budget, compared to the international standard of 12 per cent. USI strongly believes that mental health is fundamental to our overall wellbeing and should receive the attention, care and funding to recognise its importance in people’s lives.

[…]to make the necessary investment needed to bring the number of student counsellors up to the internationally recommended ‘safe and ethical’ levels. Colleges and universities in Ireland currently have only one counsellor for every 2,240 students, even though it is recommended by the International Accreditation of Counseling Services that there should be one counsellor for every 1,000 to 1,500 students. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government has increased student mental health funding from €3 million to €5 million, but that figure has only been allocated on an annual basis, leaving these services unable to plan for the future. Ahead of Budget 2024, USI is calling for Government […]

[…]would call on Minister Quinn and the Government to take this into account in ensuring that no further reductions to the current levels of the student maintenance grant rates or thresholds are imposed in the upcoming Budget, and existing student support levels are maintained in full. A recent survey is also referenced in today’s article whereby 60% of Irish students report being stressed by their financial situation. This financial strain does not alone have an impact on creating barriers to accessing and remaining in third-level education. It also impacts on the mental health and academic output of students, and increases […]
