Is this service right for me?

Social Connect isn't for everyone, or perhaps now is just not the right time. This service is for students who are willing to engage in self-care and self-help activities and want to make positive changes to their lives.

Please note: The connectors are not trained mental health professionals; they are students who want to help others connect to their community and improve their wellbeing. This scheme is not a crisis service either; if you are in crisis, please access urgent support.
