You are not alone, you are important and it's ok to ask for help
Looking after your mental health
We understand that the outbreak of COVID-19 has, and is still creating worry & distress, in order to help we have created this page of resources and tips.
Try to maintain perspective
It’s totally understandable that you and the people around you are concerned about the outbreak, try and remember that the government and health officials are working as hard as they can to treat everyone who is affected and contain the virus.
Limit your time on social media
It’s important to stay informed, but if social media, and the news in general is causing you stress, try and limit what you are reading.
Talk to someone
While it is normal to feel worried, if you are starting to feel like things are getting too much, it’s important to speak to someone, whether that’s a friend, a family member, a teacher or a helpline. We have listed below some useful organisations, and if you are a student at College, or you are starting in September, you can call Student Services on 0113 222 6002.
