Great to see the launch of this new MOOC from Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas. This is such an important topic to explore and provide support for. Every newsroom and J-School needs to ensure that mental health training - and support - is a key part of their culture. knightcenter.utexas.edu/free-online-co…

While at @UCLan for my study block, I ate in the canteen and it was heartwarming to see it provide free soup, bread and fruit to all students due to the cost of living crisis. Any South African universities doing the same?
