Abstract

With the expansion of online courses in higher education, challenges to student well-being are becoming increasingly pronounced. The Virtual Wellness Hub is an innovative initiative designed to support the mental health and well-being of online Master of Nursing students at James Cook University. Addressing the challenges of isolation and stress in online learning, this student-centred platform provides accessible resources, stress management tools, and self-care strategies. The Hub promotes engagement, resilience, and academic success by integrating insights from students, educators, and mental health professionals. This presentation will showcase the platform’s development, expected impact, and strategies for enhancing student well-being in online education.
