Colleges must tackle the causes of stress

Universities and colleges must tackle causes of stress, says education union NATFHE.

The union was responding to a report from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which showed a major increase in the number of academics in further and higher education seeking counselling.

NATFHE is calling for more funding to expand counselling services in colleges and universities, but says employers should act to tackle the causes of stress.
