Letting us know you need help is perfectly normal. We believe we should all be able to talk freely about our mental health and wellbeing.
If you’re worried about your mental health and wellbeing, there are a number of things you can do:
Think
- Are you in immediate danger? If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, contact the emergency services on 999 or 112.
- Find a safe space. If an incident has just happened, try to find somewhere you feel safe.
Talk
- To a friend, family member or someone else you trust. Talking things through can sometimes help.
Report and Support
- Report + Support. Students and staff can report a concern using the Academy's Report + Support system. You can choose to do this anonymously or you can request support from an advisor. If you choose to talk to an advisor, they will be able to talk through the options and support available to you, in confidence.
- Find out more about the support available for mental health and wellbeing on the Academy website.
- Take care of yourself. If you’ve experienced or heard something distressing or if something is troubling you, the Academy's Counselling Service offers confidential help and is open to both students and staff.
- In the 'Further information' section of these pages, there are links to other useful external resources, including out-of-hours services for students.
