I'm worried about someone else's mental health and wellbeing

If you’re worried about someone else's mental health and wellbeing, there are a number of things you can do. 

If you're worried about someone, you can check in with them and see how they are, and if they feel comfortable to talk through any concern. However, if you're not sure please reach out to our student advisors in the Student Advice Centres on each campus. If you are concerned about a colleague, please contact HR.  

If believe someone is in immediate danger or seriously injured, you can call 999 (or 112 from a mobile).  

You can make an anonymous disclosure here which will allow us to investigate mental wellbeing concerns in particular areas of the organisation.

   

1 in 4 people is affected by a mental health problem in any year and it is estimated that around 1 in 5 people has contemplated suicide or self-harm.
