- co-ordinating crisis situations if and when they occur
- general advice on issues related to mental health and wellbeing
- help to meet the needs of studying with a mental health difficulty
- identifying reasonable adjustments
- sessions to help you develop skills to manage mental health conditions while being a student
- assistance referring to, liaising and coordinating with NHS and other external services
- support in accessing other University departments such as academic schools, occupational health and housing services.
