We've got your back!

What is it about?

Nowadays attention to student well-being and social bonding is more important than ever. Previous research shows that students feel mentally stronger the more social support they experience from their institution. But exactly what support do students need? And when? And from whom? We don't know this very well yet. In this chapter we look at the results of the research project "We've got your back!". In this project, institutions from secondary vocational education, universities of applied sciences and research universities have jointly investigated the workable elements for offering social support to students. The results offer practical insights and tools for policy makers, student supervisors and students themselves to create the right context for offering and receiving social support.
