Mental health concerns among university populations are on the rise. Faculty and students report increasing levels of depression, stress, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Starting from this assumption, the study is a preliminary investigation aimed at exploring students’ well-being in a selection of the world’s top universities. In particular, counselling services sections devoted to the promotion of students’ mental health on a sample of websites of British and American universities included in the World University Rankings will be explored in order to investigate their commitment to improve students’ well-being. The methodology draws from studies on multimodality and social semiotics. The preliminary outcomes of this study seem to confirm a different multimodal perspective promoted by the UK and USA universities in terms of less or more proximity with which the counselling services engage with the students.
