Fit Minds is a multidisciplinary research project conceived by the Analytics and Institutional Research Unit in 2018/2019 in response to the increased media attention on suicides and common mental health disorders among South African university students. This project aims to investigate the mental health status of students at the University of the Witwatersrand, the drivers to common mental health disorders in this population and its impact on student success.
