Emotional health and wellbeing

Your emotional wellbeing is just as important as your physical wellbeing. Student life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and many students can experience loneliness, stress, anxiety and low mood at times. Our resources can give you the knowledge and skills you need to help you manage these feelings.

If you find that these feelings are ongoing or having an impact on your studies or your personal life you might want to consider speaking to one of our specialist teams for further advice and support.

Loneliness

We know that loneliness can affect us all.

If you're feeling a little lost we hope you find something useful on this page. There are lots of things you can do to help and we are here to help if needed. One of the key things you can do is to talk about it. Why not link with our Student Mental Health Champion programme.

Money problems and mental wellbeing

There can be a link between mental health and money problems. Feeling low or anxious can sometimes make it harder to manage your money and you might find it harder to budget or feel more stressed when you need to spend money to socialise.

Money Helper have created a handy guide on how to look after yourself and your money.

You can also access the mental health and money toolkit which has interactive activities to help you.
