Mental Health First Aid

If you feel distressed or in need of support and guidance about how to look after your own mental health, or if you have concerns about someone else’s mental wellbeing, please contact one of the department’s Mental Health First Aiders. They have received training to understand mental health and the factors that can affect wellbeing. They will listen to you non-judgementally and confidentially and will guide you to further support. 

We also have a Wellbeing Room available located in S0.30 if you need a quiet moment or need a private space for confidential conversations. As well as offering comfortable seating with books and games to help unwind, you will also find a PC and telephone line here. If though you have a need for a space for long or regular private calls or working then please book a meeting room for such purposes.
