Health and wellbeing
The university offers confidential support and advice in a number of ways:
-
Information on how to access services provided by NHS and Social Services
-
Support for disabled students including some aspects of mental health
-
Counselling and therapy service
-
Information for staff and students
Read our Statement of Service. The Psychological Wellbeing Service have produced a short leaflet on how to respond to a student in emotional distress or a mental health crisis. Although primarily aimed as a guide for staff, this could also be useful to students who may be concerned about a friend or peer. Please note, staff who are having problems with health, mental health or wellbeing should contact Occupational Health.
