Student insurer Endsleigh Insurance has struck a deal with Unite Students, a student accommodation provider, to provide 24/7 wellbeing support for 70,000 students. Under the arrangement, students will be able to use Endsleigh’s 24/7 student wellbeing helpline and digital therapy services.

Alison Meckiffe, chief executive officer at Endsleigh, said: “We are thrilled to be providing Unite Students and their residents with our Student Assistance Programme. Students are at a higher risk of mental health issues developing due to loneliness, financial worries, and academic stress. We believe mental health support should be easily accessible to all students as they undergo the challenges and changes that coincide with studying.”

She added: “Our Student Assistance Programme is a natural progression of the innovative services we’ve delivered over the past 60 years. We call this approach #beyondbroking - it’s more than a set of products, it’s joined-up thinking, a new mindset that looks at the whole customer, not just individual needs.”
