Student Services : University Front Room

We encourage students to visit the University Front Room if you're:

• Feeling overwhelmed.
• Finding it hard to manage your mental and emotional wellbeing.
• You need a safe, non-judgemental space to feel calm.
• In urgent need of mental health support.
• Having thoughts to end your life.
• Confused about where to find support for your current experience(s).

Examples of support include:

• There's a team of mental health professionals and volunteers that can provide guidance and advice, which includes helping you get further support if needed.
• The University Front Room doesn't offer clinical therapy, but they do provide non-judgemental, confidential, in-the-moment support when you're struggling to cope.
• You'll be offered the opportunity to reflect and build on your current support network, coping strategies, strengths, and skills.
• If you don’t feel like talking, you may want to make use of the arts, crafts, books and other resources we have, or simply take some time out with a cup of tea before continuing with your day.

The University Front Room is unable to offer support:

• In an emergency – you'll need to call 999.
• If you require medical attention beyond basic first aid/wound care.
• If you're heavily intoxicated by alcohol or substances.
• If you're displaying threatening or physically aggressive behaviour.
