When you\u2019re not doing so great, one of the most powerful steps you can take is really rather simple: talk about it. Sometimes that can feel easier said than done \u2013 we feel like we\u2019re burdening someone else with our problems, and we don\u2019t want to come across as needy or like we don\u2019t have our lives on track. But here\u2019s a reality check \u2013 your friends and family care about you! Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel if you found out that a loved one had been going through a tough time, but hadn\u2019t reached out for help?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, like any big challenge, you will get through this \u2013 future you is older and wiser and waiting for you on the other side \u2013 it may just take a couple of attempt to reach them. In addition to family and friends, there are also many external support services available detailed below, this includes our own Safeguarding, Student Life and Wellbeing Team.<\/p>\n

In addition to the services below, we have put together a selection of helpful guides and resources, available to download to support you throughout your studies.<\/p>\n
