Undergraduate student mental health and wellbeing is becoming an increasingly important topic. In particular, students from backgrounds that have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education may have increased difficulties during the transition to university. Therefore, 'Mind Your Mind', a pilot, three-part programme of workshops facilitated by doctoral clinical psychology students to support first year undergraduate psychology students was developed. The workshops were formulation-based and explored 'social media', 'anxiety' and 'belonging'. Students generally found the workshops useful and easy to understand, and felt that attending the workshops increased their wellbeing. The programme also provided an opportunity for the clinical psychology students to develop their skills and give something back. Reflections on the development, facilitation and sustainability of the programme are discussed.
