We listen.


to help you meet your goals we want to help you stay well

For various reasons, sometimes we all need a bit of extra help. 

Please talk to your tutor or programme leader about anything that may impact on your learning.  If you need additional help (hey, sometimes we all do) talk confidentially to our student support. 


In the meanwhile, here are some things that may help:


• Stay well - eat well

• Get enough sleep

• Counselling

• Crisis Line

• Alcohol and substance abuse

• Food Bank

• Tenancy rights
