STUDENT WELLBEING
From the Wellbeing Team
The holidays and Christmas season are meant to be a time of joy, but for many people they can be a time of stress, anxiety, disappointment and loneliness.
If you are finding it difficult to manage your mental health over the holidays, please seek support from a trusted adult, a health professional or one of the mental health support services.
