Disability, Mental health and Wellbeing support
1-to-1 Wellbeing meetings
Available on campus and online. During your appointment, we will ask you a few questions about your current circumstances or issues you may be experiencing. We will provide you with the most appropriate advice and guidance that is useful for you, including self-care strategies, referral to other departments, online resources or signposting to external services.
Drop-in sessions
You can drop in to speak to a Wellbeing Officer on campus. To find out drop-in times specific to your campus, please contact mywellbeing@esl.ac.uk.
Disability Learning Support
If you have a disability or a condition that may impact your studies, our Well-being team offer confidential support to help you engage fully with your studies. Please contact the team at mywellbeing@esl.ac.uk to book a meeting to discuss further.
We offer 1-to-1 meetings with students to discuss the following:
- The impact your condition may have on your studies
- Any reasonable adjustments or support you will need to access your course fully.
- Creating an individual support plan which sets out the required adjustments you will need which will be shared with the appropriate staff, for example, our Additional Needs Tutors.
- Guidance and information on applying for a Disabled Student’s Allowance (DSA) if you are eligible.
- Signpost to relevant support services outside of ESL. For example, we have a partnership with Randstad which can provide students with tailored academic support.
Workshops, Events and Self-help Resources
We run workshops throughout the year focusing on building psychological wellbeing skills to help you during your studies with us and when you graduate. It is an opportunity for you to meet others in a safe space to share experiences and tips for your wellbeing. Please keep a lookout for emails from the Wellbeing Team, as well as the noticeboards on your campus for your next workshop.
