🏡 UAL University Mental Health Day Events 🏡
Student services are organising multiple events across UAL campuses, discover their programme of wellbeing sessions, yoga classes, meditation and more.
🧠 Managing your mental health at university 🧠
Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health and it can be easily overlooked. Here's some ways to help with your mental health.
📞 Talk to someone: it can feel scary to open up to someone and put your feelings into words when you’re struggling with your mental health. Find someone you trust to speak to and know you’re not alone.
📧 Student services: UAL have a dedicated team to support you throughout your studies, whether you’d like to access a free counselling session or have help with essay writing, student services provide professional help to help with all kinds of problems and challenges that students face.
💜 Here4U: This Halls Life wellbeing programme provides dedicated support and assistance to students in halls. Sign up for a coffee and chat if you need a friendly face to speak with, read our online guides or reach out via email for any wellbeing advice.
💻 Online support: There are a huge range of platforms and resources you can use to learn about mental health. A lot of these platforms provide helpful and practical advice to help you take control of your mental health.
