Mental Health Support

Mental health includes how we feel, think, behave, and navigate the world around us. Therefore, taking care of one’s mental health is key to their academic success and overall quality of life. It is common for students to face increased levels of stress, anxiety, loneliness, and other emotional challenges while studying.

Our Health and Wellbeing team

Whether a student has an ongoing mental health condition, diagnosed mental illness, or is struggling with situational stress, the Mental Health Adviser alongside the Health and Wellbeing team are here to provide students with a supportive environment to work through and cope with their challenges.

Referrals to Internal and External Resources

The Health and Wellbeing Team may not always be able to meet the unique needs of each student. In these circumstances, the Wellbeing Adviser will work with the student to identify relevant resources and providers within and external to the University. The Wellbeing Adviser is available to assist students in connecting with medical, mental health, and other wellbeing related resources.

Additionally, the Health and Wellbeing Team has a number of partners to help enhance the mental health and wellbeing of University of Sunderland in London students. These resources are free for students and linked below:
