The University has a number of members of staff who have gone through Mental Health First Aid training, for information on who is trained in your department please contact your local Head of Admin, or SEPS.
Please note that Mental Health First Aiders are not trained as counsellors or therapists, and are solely trained to provide initial help for someone experiencing suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, or psychosis.
In an emergency, phone the Samaritans on 116 123 (dial 9 first on a University phone to get an outside line).
In case of low mood, depression, anxiety, and other issues out-of-hours, contact a Breathing Space counsellor between 6pm-2am Monday to Thursday, and any time from 6pm Friday to 6am Monday, on 0800 83 85 87.
