Mental Health Support for Students

Wednesday 20th November 2024
Voice Study Centre provides all students with 24/7, free online counselling sessions. These services provide immediate access to mental health support, ensuring that students can receive help whenever they need it, regardless of the time of day. During times of crisis or heightened stress, such as exam periods or personal emergencies, this constant availability can be crucial. By addressing mental health concerns promptly, 24/7 counselling can reduce the risk of more severe psychological issues developing. Additionally, having round-the-clock support can help alleviate feelings of isolation and anxiety. This service empowers students to manage their mental health proactively, leading to better academic outcomes and a more positive experience of the course. We also have a dedicated support team, separate from the teaching team, who regularly check in and meet with students.

 

The short video below explains everything you need to know about the service:
