As the first brand to offer students entirely free access to the Unmind platform, UNiDAYS is championing student wellbeing at a time when the cost-of-living crisis is having an unprecedented effect on their quality of life.

The partnership comes as recent research from UNiDAYS reveals that, despite wellbeing being a top long-term priority for three quarters of students, 72% state they struggle with their mental health at least once a week, and that half of Gen Z (50%) say their stress or anxiety worsened overall throughout the pandemic.

In recognition of the challenges facing students, the deal will offer UNiDAYS members free, unlimited access to the full library of Unmind content and resources for 12 months, including short learning courses focused on mindfulness, relaxation techniques and assessments to track wellbeing over time.

Alongside workout guides, meditation sessions and audiobooks designed to aid sleep, these resources help people flourish by taking ownership of their mental wellbeing. Students will also be able to share Unmind access to a friend, family, or loved one at no additional cost.

Currently available in 180 countries, Unmind's work has been validated through studies with the UK'S University of Cambridge and the University of Sussex, content is created by clinical psychologists and supports users with their mental, physical, social, and financial wellbeing. The platform also provides signposts to critical support networks like crisis helplines.

Alex Gallagher, Chief Strategy Officer at UNiDAYS, highlighted the importance of unlocking affordable possibilities for young adults around the world: "It's no secret that the cost-of-living crisis is having a significant impact on all of us. And for students particularly, there has been unprecedented strain not only on completing their studies but how they equip themselves with the life skills to prepare for their journey ahead.

"That's why we're providing free access to this invaluable platform to unlock wellness opportunities for all students. Our mission is to champion and support students to ensure they can step into the world confidently. So, we're excited to be helping them develop essential skills to nurture and celebrate their wellbeing."

Nick Taylor, CEO at Unmind, added: "Students aren't just learning their chosen study, they're learning the foundations needed to enter the world of work. On top of everything they've experienced in the last few years, we know that transitioning from university to employment can present its own challenges to mental health."

"We want to help students to embed proactive mental health practices, enabling them to measure, understand, and maintain their wellbeing as they navigate this next stage of life. We believe this group of students can help set the standard for the next generation of workers that really prioritise their wellbeing."
