Bereavement and loss
The loss of someone close to you will naturally lead you to grieve, and this is a necessary aspect of healing and acceptance of loss.
For help in dealing with loss and bereavement, you can read our self-help leaflets on dealing with bereavement and loss. You can also get in touch with Student Services where our professional staff will help. All enquiries to Student Services are treated confidentially.
You can call in to Student Services at the ASC (Advice & Support Centre), 79 North Street. Our offices are open between 9:30am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. No appointment necessary. Alternatively you can telephone (01334 46) 2020 or email theasc@st-andrews.ac.uk.
