SME News UK Enterprise Awards 2025/ 28 Best Student Mental Health Support Organisation 2025 College and university life isn’t always easy, especially when travelling to a new country to study internationally; while transformative, the educational journey comes with its own unique series of challenges. Many students face the risk of burnout, driven by academic overload and a persisting pressure to please professors and parents alike, as well as adapting to a new culture. Students can often experience depression and anxiety alongside this, which can lead to shifts in behaviour and further problems. In response, mindhamok have developed a series of digital and live services available to students around the world, promoting their mental, physical, and social wellbeing. Co-Founder Tiziana De Macceis told us more, below. The story of mindhamok began in London, 2020, evolved from a previous smaller Italian entity founded in 2017 in Rome. Founded by Keith Miller, Tiziana De Macceis and Phil Georgiou, mindhamok quickly became the go-to place for students to access modern mental health and wellbeing support whilst studying abroad. mindhamok saw sustained growth in the following years, adding further specialist solutions, critical incident management services, consultancy and staff & faculty professional development, whilst developing a carefully selected global therapist network. Today, mindhamok serves as a provider of specialist student support, providing mental health support and wellbeing services to thousands of students, staff and faculty members across the globe, whether studying internationally, in their own countries, or on study-abroad programmes. The company deliver supporting services that aim to reduce the stress experienced by students and provide them with the help they need without the disruptive wait times known for causing further pain to students, their peers, staff, faculty and parents. mindhamok is committed to the wellbeing of its clients and invests into ongoing improvement in order to provide them with the very best services possible. The company speaks with both students and staff on a daily basis and so witnesses first-hand the core challenges that are faced each day by the demographic. In response, mindhamok utilises its gained insights to continuously evolve its solutions, remaining on the cutting-edge of development by serving the real needs of its clients. “Our vision is for every young person on the planet to lead a healthy, meaningful life. This guides our everyday and everything that we deliver. We focus on upstream prevention to empower people to move away from the downstream events that can be so disruptive to the entire educational eco-system.” By leveraging its knowledge and expertise, mindhamok can successfully anticipate emerging trends and demands in the market, building a series of forward-looking projects and initiatives guaranteed to make waves across the industry. Most recently, the company has just launched an asynchronous e-Learning solution entitled the ‘mindhamok learning-hub’. This hub has empowered students around the world to access its predeparture preparation material at a time that suits them, whilst simultaneously enabling educational entities to assign specific learnings to a subset of students with a specific need or challenge as they embark on their educational journey. Alongside this, mindhamok will be expanding its reach. mindhamok serves a global community and is seeing a deeper need for staff support and development globally. The company aims to enter new markets in the upcoming year and will also be working with insurance companies to ensure that its solutions benefit an ever-expanding community around the world. In less than a decade, mindhamok has transformed the lives of students and employers around the world, building a thriving community of learners, faculty and staff and earning itself the title of Best Student Mental Health Support Organisation 2025. Gianna, a student, wrote: “I had a really great experience with mindhamok, from start to finish. Initially, I was given lots of enthusiastic help with finding the right help that would be the best fit for my situation. Following that, the therapist I met was extremely helpful and very kind. I’ve had a great experience, and I am very grateful to have had access to this resource.” While Simona, a faculty member, said: “mindhamok is a great reference point for our students, but also a valuable resource for the staff. Over the past few months, the staff and I have personally benefitted from their advice several times. We have received advice on how to deal with specific cases and how to improve internal dynamics, becoming more productive and improving the working environment.” And Camille, a student, reported: “The unique thing about mindhamok is that they really take an interest in what students need and feel, unlike many other companies you see nowadays. They ask students and ambassadors to get involved in conversations and I think this provides real insights as to what students are going through in order to help them accordingly. I really enjoy their services and can’t wait to see what we have planned as a community going forward.” Contact: Tiziana De Macceis Company: mindhamok Web Address: www.mindhamok.com
