Abstract

This case study will discuss the engagement of undergraduate students studying Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling (PPC) at one university, in a project designed to bring psychoeducation into a school context. Project Phoenix involved undergraduate students in the session design and delivery, of six psychoeducation sessions delivered to school age children. Mental health awareness in schools and universities has become increasingly topical, making this project extremely timely. We present reflections from both a student and a staff perspective and propose CASE: Confidence, Apply skills, Supportive and safe environment and Employability skills development, as an approach to engage young people. This case study will discuss the process of engaging students in designing and delivering the sessions and reflects on the project incorporating student voice.
