Mental Wellbeing

• If you feel you may be experiencing a mental health condition or are concerned that you might be, please contact one of many people who can offer support, both within college, the university and the NHS.
• Within LMH do contact the Welfare Team - there is a list of people here.
• Your GP will be able to listen to your difficulties and refer you to further professional support if this is helpful.
• The university has an excellent Counselling Service, with professional psychologists who operate a confidential service that you can refer yourself to without involving anyone else. They can speak with you in person, with an appointment or via a drop-in clinic or by skype/phone if you wish. In addition their website provides many links, podcasts and articles that you can use for self-help remotely.

• In an emergency, if you need immediate help call 999 (or 112 from a mobile phone).
• NHS non-emergency services -111 - can also help put you in touch with mental or physical health.
