Supporting students in distress

Supporting students in distress

The current COVID-19 outbreak is a challenging time for everyone, and for some, this may put strain on their mental health. Our students may reach out to colleagues in the University if they are feeling distressed, so the University’s Counselling and Wellbeing team has put together the guidance below to support colleagues in these situations. The process below will help colleagues to assess the student’s situation and what to do, depending on the seriousness of the situation
