MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING SUPPORT
Your wellbeing is our priority. That’s why we offer a range of mental health and wellbeing support services which are free and accessible to all University of Cumbria students.
The Mental Health & Wellbeing Team is made up of mental health professionals who can help and support you with a range of mental, emotional, and interpersonal issues. The Talking Therapy Service can give you time to explore what is going on in your life in a safe and confidential setting. You will be listened to, respected and not judged. You can explore ways to help yourself, do things differently, be clearer about things and take steps forward. Appointments run Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, on campus or via MS Teams or telephone.
The Mental Health & Wellbeing Team also provide:
- Wellbeing Groups
- Access to Togetherall, a free, 24/7 therapeutic platform
- The Live Well Learn Well Blog and Workshops
- The online Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub
- A range of events throughout the year
SPORT AND RECREATION
We want you to keep healthy and enjoy every aspect of your life whilst at university. Students have access to a range of health and sports facilities and clubs across our sites, taking advantage of local sports facilities. Each campus has something different to offer. We provide a friendly and supportive environment within our small, welcoming campuses, so why not get involved? Take part in a varied and dynamic range of opportunities beyond your course from abseiling and sports, to music and recreation.
