Partnering with Colleges and Universities to Elevate Mental Health

Supporting senior leaders to drive sustainable, whole-system mental health transformation

We help Create Cultures of Care in Further and Higher Education

Innovating Minds empower colleges and universities to build mentally healthy cultures where students and staff can thrive. Our approach combines strategic consultancy, expert training, and practical tools to embed mental health into every layer of campus life.

We recognise that supporting student mental health also means supporting the wellbeing of the staff who care for them. That’s why our work addresses both student needs and the impact of vicarious trauma and emotional fatigue on educators and support teams.
