AAT’s wellbeing hub
Students, apprentices and employers can use AAT’s new wellbeing centre to access a range of resources
AAT takes the wellbeing of students seriously and we know that mental health and wellbeing challenges have increased, particularly in the post-Covid era. AAT has seen an increase in calls to its customer service team regarding stress, anxiety and depression, and wants to build its student community to provide support and advice.
For this reason, the AAT wellbeing hub has been set up to:
- raise awareness of the existing wellbeing resources and benefits to students.
- embed wellbeing support throughout the student experience.
- use the student feedback from AAT’s advisory groups to offer more of what students need.
- provide inspiration and tangible wellbeing resources.
AAT also has in-person branch events and the student community, both of which provide an opportunity to meet other people and enjoy peer-to-peer support.
There is also a student advisory group, comprising 30 students across three levels, who meet quarterly and feed into how to shape the future.
