    Newsletter Issue No 18: Winter 2019/20 Editorial Happy New Decade and welcome to our latest Newsletter! The last year has been busy and exciting for the Network. In addition to highly enjoyable and informative meetings hosted by the University of Central Lancashire and the University of the West of England, we have commissioned a consultative review focused on options for the Network to ensure a sustainable future and organised two policy- oriented Healthy Universities Summits; contributed to expert advisory and consultation meetings organised by Universities UK and Student Minds; delivered keynote presentations at conferences and events in England, Wales, Scotland, Portugal, Netherlands, Philippines and Mexico (many using the more sustainable option of virtual web- based delivery, we should emphasise!). With the recent publication of Student Minds’ long-awaited University Mental Health Charter and the forthcoming refresh of StepChange by Universities UK, it is perhaps not surprising that many of these discussions have focused on whole university and whole system approaches to mental health and how to align and ensure effective co-ordination with Healthy Universities. The year ahead promises to be just as busy and exciting—and we wish you all the best for your work!
