The Wellbeing Zone

The Wellbeing Zone is situated to the back of the Library which you can use as a quiet, reflective space. You can find information and services to help you with a range of health and wellbeing issues. Wellbeing Advisors work within this zone during the day and provide support, triage and signposting.

 Sanitary Items and contraception are also available in the Wellbeing Zone.

What we do

We aim to promote positive wellbeing among our students.

There are a variety of ways in which you can access support: from speaking to a member of our Wellbeing Team for one-to-one confidential advice and support, to accessing self-help resources through the intranet, and a referral to our specialist wellbeing services like the mental health advisor and counselling service.

We are here to help you thrive in your academic and personal life while at college.
