The National HAPHE Network

Joining a HAPHE Team doesn’t just connect you to students on your campus it connects you to a wider national network of peers who are all working toward the same goal: reducing the events that cause trauma and anxiety by building healthier connections.

Why the network matters

• Shared ideas; what works at one university can be adapted at another.

• Peer solidarity; students know they’re not alone in leading.

• Visibility; together, HAPHE Teams can influence how universities support wellbeing on a national scale.

Emotional benefits

Being part of a national network diversifies energy again: students see their work as bigger than themselves or their campus. This broader perspective strengthens resilience and gives meaning even when local challenges arise. It's actually quite fulfilling to start one up.

The takeaway

The national HAPHE network is proof that students are not isolated change-makers. Together, they form a movement that redefines what student wellbeing looks like.
