Accessing wellbeing services remotely

We have introduced a new support service called the Wellbeing Check-In service. This service is to assist you across all our campuses with all your wellbeing needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. All other existing wellbeing services are now operating face-to-face, online (Zoom) and via phone.
