Nottingham Trent University works with its counterpart, the University of Nottingham, to support its students by taking a community-based approach to caring for their wellbeing.<\/p>\n
As part of her visit, Kate is dropping into a Freshers Fair-style exhibition which has been set up to showcase how mental health of students is cared for.<\/p>\n
She is also learning about the universities’ peer-to-peer support system and is chatting to three students about how the mentoring programme words.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Princess Kate’s knitted two-piece was a break from the streak of suits she has recently worn for public engagements<\/p>\n
Never one to shy away from taking part in group activities, Princess Kate is also getting involved with the ‘step in circle’ – a workshop part of Nottingham Trent’s induction programme for new students.<\/p>\n
The method is used as part of the university’s Welcome Workshop for new sudents. The aim of the workshop is to improve the confidence of the new arrivals and to let them know about the support networks and tools they have available.<\/p>\n
Finally, Her Royal Highness will learn about how Nottingham Trent University is using data derived from student behaviour to identify those who may not be thriving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The university has created a \u2018dashboard\u2019 which uses learning analytics to measure a student\u2019s engagement with their course.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When a student stops engaging, this can indicate issues with their wellbeing and prompts the University to proactively reach out to understand the student\u2019s reason for disengagement and help navigate them to appropriate support.<\/p>\n
The information is also given directly to the students to help them manage their own learning and is used for personalised support and tutorial discussions with staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During a mental health forum for young people in Birmingham yesterday, the Princess of Wales delivered a rare, rousing speech about how young people should become in touch with their emotions in order to be able to monitor their own wellbeing.<\/p>\n
In a touching gesture, the Princess opted to wear a pair of star earrings, which she had been gifted earlier this year by a woman who lost her 17-year-old daughter Issy Renton to suicide.<\/p>\n
After meeting Kate earlier this year, Mrs Renton said: ‘My daughter Issy took her own life. The proceeds from the earrings are going to a charity called Brave Minds, a mental health charity that supports children using the platforms of rugby clubs. Mental health is such an important issue.<\/p>\n
‘She was wonderful, Issy, a real breath of fresh air. She had wonderful, wonderful friends, surrounded herself with the best people.<\/p>\n
‘She was owning life, doing so well in her A levels, she was going to do an elite rugby programme, she payed touch rugby for England and got a gold medal in the summer.<\/p>\n
‘But she was also struggling with depression. Everything was harder than it was a supposed to be. We thought she was obviously doing better than she was.’<\/p>\n
Mrs Renton added that Kate told her she would wear the earrings in future.<\/p>\n
