Starting new things can be daunting and sometimes overwhelming. You are not alone in your feelings. If you feel worried about yourself or if you are concerned about someone else, we have some helpful information for you.
Who can I turn to?
Student Wellbeing service
The University's Student Wellbeing team provides information and advice for students, and you can contact them directly if you are feeling low.
They also have self-help resources for you to access online if you'd prefer.
Nightline
Nightline is a confidential, anonymous, non-judgmental, listening support service run by students for students. They will understand and empathise with the problems you are facing.

Your Student Advice Centre offers free, confidential and independent advice to all Hallam students.
Student Support Adviser
You can contact your Student Support Adviser via Hallam Help. They are your pastoral support, so their role is to look after your needs whilst you are at university.
