Support for University Students

Virtual Good Mood Cafes

Our weekly online Good Mood Cafes offer informal wellbeing support, while connecting you to other students within your university. They offer a positive and safe space to share interests, skills or experiences. Feeling connected is key to positive wellbeing and resilience.

It’s OK not to be OK, so you don’t have to be in a good mood to come along to our online Good Mood Cafes – but we hope everyone will leave feeling better than when they joined.

Virtual Open Door Calm Spaces

Everyone feels overwhelmed at times and our student online Open Door calm spaces provide somewhere to go if you need a bit of space and tranquility.

These sessions offer guidance on self-help techniques which can help you to ‘ground yourself’ and feel better both in that moment and in the future.

Information Sessions

We will soon be running information sessions offering support and guidance to identify local services that can best help your mental health and wellbeing.
