Where can I find resources to help me manage my wellbeing?

We want you to succeed at LSBU and beyond. There are lots of resources available that can help you develop and maintain your wellbeing. There's something for everyone, and we'd encourage you to try a few things out to figure out what suits you. 

If you want to talk to someone

• You can always have a confidential chat with one of the LSBU Mental Health and Wellbeing Advisors about whatever's going on. They can help you explore what resources might be most helpful. Find out more here: What happens in a Mental Health and Wellbeing appointment?
• If you would like to book an appointment with the wellbeing team:
  How do I book an appointment with the Mental Health and Wellbeing team?
• You can discuss your options for accessing counselling / therapeutic support. Find out more here: How can I access counselling / therapy?
• You can get check out our workshops and events on the Wellbeing LibCal Calendar

If you don't want to talk, but do want to connect:

• Togetherall is an anonymous, safe, online peer community where you can give and get support from people like you. You can express yourself with words or images, without any fear of judgement. There's also short courses, self assessments and access to a mental health professional (not LSBU staff) if you want. It takes less than 5 minutes to sign up for free with your LSBU email. Find out more here: What is Togetherall?
• Kooth is an online mental wellbeing community for people up to the age of 26. They provide counselling, peer support and a range of resources designed to help you take control of your wellbeing.

If you'd rather do things independently:

• NHS Good Thinking has tips and resources to help you look after your wellbeing. 
• Check out the Being Well, Living Well modules on Moodle. These cover a range of topics from study-life balance to procrastination to financial awareness. 
• Student Space is a website offering advice, information and support to students
• The Black Students Mental Health Project - all the resources were developed by and for Black LSBU students.
