When you book a wellbeing appointment, advisers will help you find the best support or service for your needs.

Where they think it needed, wellbeing advisers may refer you for for support from the mental health advisory service.

The Students’ Health Service may also make a referral for you to the service.

What happens if you are referred

You will have a session with one of our mental health advisers. During the session, they will explore your mental health difficulties and create a care plan with you.

Your care plan will focus on your strengths and help you find the right support at the University and in the wider community.

Your care plan might include support from other services, such as the NHS and other University services and resources.

Confidentiality

We will not share your information with anyone without your permission. However, we encourage you to share your care plan with everyone supporting you. Our support will be limited if you do not give us permission to work with other services that are supporting you.

Prepare for your session

For your session, it is useful to have:

• any care plans that have helped you in the past
• contact details of people and services that support you, such as NHS services at home or your personal tutor.

For more information about how to prepare, read our Prepare for your session page.

After your session

Your Mental Health Adviser may book further sessions with your agreement. One session may be enough with onward referral to other services where necessary.
