Support over the Winter Break
This can be a difficult time of year for many reasons, especially if you are worrying about being alone, or spending extended time with family members.
StudentSpace provides 24/7 support and information to help you, and you can also access University Wellbeing Services, Samaritans and Shout if you need someone to talk to.
