Mental Health Advisor

The University employs a Mental Health Advisor whose role is to provide comprehensive mental health assessments and support for students with complex mental health needs and students experiencing a crisis or deterioration in their mental state and/or mood in order to provide appropriate support and where there is a need indicated, signposting information to appropriate external and internal health care and support providers.

Support includes new initiatives to develop and implement short term focused interventions to support students experiencing, for example, difficulties with sleep, time management, negative thoughts, accessing disability support allowance, poor motivation, maintaining personal safety and the safety of others, crisis planning and where appropriate learning supports. The Mental Health Advisor will be responsible for the formulation and provision of a variety of workshops and groups to promote positive mental health at the Life Lounge, throughout the year, and to support students experiencing difficulties at University.
