Mental health support

The Mental Health Mentoring and Access team (MHMA) supports applicants who declare a diagnosed, long-term mental health condition, such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder.

We offer specialist mentoring support to remove barriers to study for students with mental health difficulties. This support needs to be applied for in advance and funded through Disabled Students' Allowances and is provided through a mix of internal support and external agency support.

We work with students on areas such as:

• Anxiety, depression and other mental health difficulties
• Concentration and memory difficulties
• Motivation
• Organisation and time management.

We can also:

• Help to agree on institutional support through an Access Statement
• Help you explain your needs to your tutor
• Recommend alternative arrangements for examinations and other assessments
• Assist you in planning a realistic way to study and formulating plans that structure the approach to the work
• Advice on maintaining a healthy balance of other elements in life
• Liaise with Student Financial Services regarding funding issues.

Tell us about the support you need

Our Access Statement form is where you can let us know about any support, adjustments, or exam arrangements you may need, and about any support you had in place before that helped you. This information will form the basis of your support plan at NTU.

Unsure what support you need?

If you are unsure as to what support you need and you have a diagnosis of a long-term mental health condition, you can book an appointment to speak to one of our advisers.

If your query is urgent, please complete the support and wellbeing form and we will get in touch with you
