Dealing with depression at university

Which? University

I collaborated with a third party to plan, shape and edit the final piece which they wrote, informed by competitor and search analysis.

An editorial guide talking about depression among students. This was a collaboration with Dr. Lucy Winrow of ProtectED (a UK higher education accreditation scheme for student safety and wellbeing).

We leveraged Dr. Winrow’s knowledge and understanding to speak to our large audience about a topic that we felt was beyond our expertise.

The piece looked at the common causes of depression for students, the different ways this can manifest itself and support available.

After an initial guide on mental health and wellbeing performed strongly, we chose to build on this and cover further, specific topics. The key aim of the guide was to inform and engage users, driving them to deeper content where relevant or appropriate.

While Lucy utilised various studies, examples and content assets, we used this opportunity to surface in-house research and content curated from our audience (i.e. personal stories and quotes).

Following the closure of the Which? University website, this piece now lives on The Uni Guide, which is managed by The Student Room.
