'thedesk'
'thedesk' (opens in a new window) is an online program that provides strategies and skills for success, resilience and wellbeing. While 'thedesk' is particularly useful who those who are feeling stressed, 'thedesk' is for all students, not just those who identify as having problems.
'thedesk' is founded on the premise that all students can be resilient and successful. Focusing on strengths with activities building on existing abilities of students, 'thedesk' offers free access to online modules, tools, quizzes and resources.
Does it work?
The program was developed in response to research showing:
- High prevalence rates of distress in students
- Psychological distress has significant impact on ability to study
- Psychological distress is associated with lower academic performance
- Students reporting that they are likely to use an online program for issues they are experiencing
'thedesk' was developed by Dr Helen Stallman (UQ), Professor David Kavanagh (QUT), and Associate Professor Alan Ralph (UQ) and funded by beyondblue (opens in a new window).
