\n<\/strong>In light of the pandemic preventing as much face-to-face interaction as possible, Student Wellbeing are now offering a digital drop in service using a video conferencing platform called Attend Anywhere. This is available during term-time from Monday to Friday from 2-3pm and can be accessed here<\/a>. Upon starting a call<\/a> you will be placed in an online waiting room before an advisor picks up your call when available.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>These are members of the wellbeing team that can offer practical support with a variety of issues such as stress, feeling overwhelmed, panic, homesickness and much more. You are also able to access support from a counsellor which offers a place to discuss and reflect on any of your problems with a trained professional in a safe and supported environment.<\/p>\n
