With exams behind us and the semester wrapped up, many students are looking forward to catching up on sleep, reconnecting with friends and family or simply taking a well-earned breather. The break can also be a great opportunity to pause, reflect and prioritise your mental health – especially if the busy semester left little time for self-care.
Whether you’d like someone to talk to, need guidance on practical issues, help managing money or have legal matters you’re seeking advice on, support is just an appointment away. Reaching out during this quieter period can make a meaningful difference. Many students find they have more space to focus on wellbeing, set goals and develop coping strategies that support a smoother transition into the next semester.
