Wellbeing Support
At times, students may need extra support for their mental health and wellbeing. This may be due to a wide range of issues - from exam stress and friendship concerns, issues at home or in the community, through to mental health disorders. The Wellbeing Team at Macleod College can provide professional and confidential support to individual students and their families. This includes individual counselling for wellbeing, group programs and workshops, as well as referral to a wide range of services.
The Wellbeing Space is located in the D block, Room D5. Students are advised to make an appointment, but are always welcome to drop in. Our wellbeing space is warm and welcoming, offering students a place where they can discuss any issues which are of concern.
