Students needed for focus group on mental health support

Take part in a short focus group about Big White Wall and receive a £10 Amazon voucher for your time.

Big White Wall is a digital mental health service offering anonymous, 24/7 support, and is free to all University of Edinburgh students.

The Student Counselling Service is running the focus group to help develop the way the service is promoted to students.

Who can take part?

Any current University of Edinburgh students. No specific experience or knowledge is required. However, we would like to invite students that have not used Big White Wall before (a separate meeting will take place with students that have used the service).

When and where?

The focus group will take place in the Central Area on the 2nd June at 3.15pm, and will last no longer than an hour.

What’s involved?

This aims to be a relaxed group discussion led by a facilitator. Everything discussed in the focus group will be reported completely anonymously.

How do I sign up?

Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you would like to take part in the focus group please let us know by contacting Iola Wilson by email:
