Wellbeing and welfare support

Wellbeing support

Anyone can experience mental health difficulties.

Whether you are finding it difficult to manage aspects of your personal life or finding the environment of higher education an emotional challenge to adapt to, we offer a range of types of specialist support to help you.

Welfare Adviser appointments

A meeting with a Welfare Adviser is a chance for you to talk through practical welfare challenges you are facing and causing you difficulties.

These might include sexual assault, domestic violence, pregnancy, police or crime matters, or other issues that are having a serious impact on your studies.
