Health and Wellbeing Adviser

Stephen Messinger

Students who have questions or concerns about their own wellbeing, and anyone concerned about the wellbeing of students, can use the drop-in facility in the Student Advice Centre, Lawrence Building, Froebel College, on Wednesday afternoons in term time from 2pm to 4pm. The drop-in facility is intended for brief, informal and confidential discussions with the University’s Health and Wellbeing Adviser. These brief discussions may be all that is needed: If further support or help is required the Adviser will assist you to access other services. No appointments are needed for the drop-in; just turn up at the Student Advice Centre reception. It is run on a first come first served basis (so coming early is best).

If you think you would benefit from seeing the Adviser outside of the drop-in facility, please first contact your Student Welfare Officer, Chaplain, Warden or academic/pastoral tutor who can refer you to the Adviser if appropriate. The Students’ Union Welfare Officer can also assist with a referral to the Adviser. Independent access to counselling is available by going to the Student Medical Centre.

Here are some useful telephone numbers and sources of out of hours information and support.
