We are delighted to announce that registration is now open for the second iteration in CCT College Dublin’s ‘From Ideas to Action’ conference series. The 2025 Conference will be entitled: “Mental Health in Higher Education: From Ideas to Action”.

This full day event on Thursday September 4th in neighbouring College Green Hotel, Westmoreland Street, Dublin, will be preceded by an afternoon of pre-conference workshops in CCT College Dublin on Wednesday September 3rd.

The aim of this conference, fully sponsored by CCT College Dublin, is to advance our shared passion for supporting the mental health and wellbeing of learners and staff in Higher Education. We see this being achieved through sharing research and best practice that is solution-orientated. This conference will offer opportunities to network, inspire and renew our enthusiasm for enhancing and supporting the mental health of all involved in the academic communities we operate in. It will build on current national and international research and practice. Participants at this conference will leave with some tools, ideas and practical take-aways to prepare them for the new academic year as well as associated CPD hours.

This conference will be of interest to all those working in higher education, or who are interested in Mental Health and Education. We particularly encourage educators, including lecturers and staff involved in Student Care and Support, to come and share their frontline experience of supporting the mental health and wellbeing of the academic community in which they work. The conference also provides a platform for those engaging in good practice and research in relation to the conference themes to share their experience by submitting a 250 word abstract. Conference proceedings will be published, and all presenters will be invited to submit a paper on their abstract, post conference.
