You are not alone, you are important and it's ok to ask for help
Looking after your mental health is really important, and while it is normal to feel worried or anxious from time to time, 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 tutor or a helpline. Whilst in College, you can speak to your tutor, personal advisor or a member of the Student Support Team.
Mental wellbeing describes how you are feeling right now, it can change at any time, and it can affect how you cope with daily life.
Having good wellbeing doesn't mean you will be happy all of the time; it's normal to feel sad, low or angry sometimes.
Physical, social and emotional health all contribute to wellbeing. Good physical health is linked to exercise and fitness; emotional health includes feeling optimistic about life, having self-esteem, and managing different emotions, whilst social health links to interactions with other people and having a sense of belonging.
