Abstract
Enabling educators know and understand that studying at university can be a transformative experience for many students (Syme et al., 2021); however, it can also be a stressful experience for students (Nieuwoudt, 2021). Not all students are managing the “normal” stresses of university life and may feel depressed, anxious and stressed (Crawford, 2021). Indeed, research has shown that university students experience rates of psychological distress at higher rates than the general population. High psychological distress is associated with reduced academic performance, but it can also lead to a lower quality of life and increased morbidity
and mortality.
