Student Wellbeing Services
Helping you make the most of your academic and personal life here at Â鶹Æƽâ°æ
If you are looking for advice, guidance or support with your wellbeing or mental health then there is lots of support available for you. Student wellbeing services are available to support your academic progress and provide you with strategies to overcome/manage distress. Being a student can be stressful at times, this is to be expected, however sometimes you may need a helping hand.
Many difficulties we can face can be resolved before we need to talk to someone. The Â鶹Æƽâ°æ partners with
Togetherall to place the support you may need in your hands. There are a range of helpful articles around common issues students face, such as budgeting, homesickness, anxiety, depression and bereavement. You can also reach out to others who may be feeling similar for support or talk to a trained counsellor 24/7 for listening support and advice.
You can also contact the student wellbeing team, which offers a range of options, unique to your circumstances. If you feel you need support, then you can complete our simple
online referral form . Every referral is reviewed by one of our specialist practitioners and recommendations made based on the information you provide us. This may include signposting to other organisations, self-help information, workshops, drop-in appointments, mental health consultations, specialist liaison with NHS services and brief counselling. Please be aware we are not a crisis or emergency service, and you may have to wait up to five working days for advice or offer of support.
If you are studying at one of our many partner colleges, please seek support from your equivalent student services on site.
If you feel unable to keep yourself safe, please see our information onsupport in times of crisis.
