Wellbeing

Student Services provides individual consultations for those with concern about wellbeing and about mental health. If you want to get in touch with Student Services for advice please complete their short online enquiry form.

Student Services also run events during the year, some for students who are concerned about their own wellbeing, and some for students who would like to learn more about how to help support a friend who may have anxiety, low mood, an eating disorder, etc. There is more information available at Student support.

We recognise that there are times when things can get tough for students. There are few people who sail through university without any problems. Please be aware that there are people here to assist you, both within the School (Wellbeing Officers, amongst others) and at Student Services.
Dr Rita Tojeiro and Dr Juan Varela are the School's Student Wellbeing Officer and can be contacted on panda_wellbeing@st-andrews.ac.uk. The role of the School's wellbeing officers is help signpost you to available resources as well as ensuring you are aware of what support and adjustments maybe possible. They can also work with other staff in the School if needed. Please do communicate with them.

You may also wish to speak with someone anonymously after hours, and this can be done by a call to a trained student volunteer at Nightline between 8pm and 7am in term time on 01334 462266.
