Such changes aim to providea higher standard of care for each individual, vital for improving the current under-resourced services. This continues to become increasingly important, as the Office for National Statistics recently revealed that student suicide rates continue to climb.<\/p>\n<p>NHSF (UK) also recognises the rising concerns regarding student mental health, introducing<br \/>\ninitiatives focused upon practicing Yog\u0101sana , Pran\u0101yama and Dhy\u0101n as suggestions to aid existing support and offer a means of self-help.<\/p>\n<p>If you need support, you can also engage in some Yog \u0101sana or Dhy \u0101 n for self-help. Or,<br \/>\nalternatively, access support and advice from helplines such as Mind UK and Student Minds.
