Mental Wellness

Help When You Need It, You Are Not Alone

Mental health is the #1 priority and I hear you.

  • Faster access to counselling services
  • Peer support networks to talk confidentially
  • Regular mental health workshops and awareness campaigns
  • Open door support so help is always within reach
  • Regular check-ins so no one is left behind
🤝

Community & Belonging

Together We're Stronger

No student should ever feel like an outsider at Portsmouth

  • Inclusive social events for international, postgrad and mature students
  • Buddy and mentorship system for new students
  • Clear guidance on joining clubs and societies
  • Community activities that boost motivation and mental wellbeing

Your Safety Matters

A Campus Where You Always Feel Secure

Every student deserves to feel safe physically and emotionally.

  • Clear and visible reporting routes for harassment and misconduct
  • Safety awareness campaigns especially for international students
  • Anonymous reporting channels accessible to all
  • Collaboration with local authorities to improve campus safety
🌱

Everyday Wellbeing

With You Every Step of The Way

Wellbeing isn't just for crisis moments

  • Pre-exam stress relief and talk sessions
  • Relaxation events throughout the year
  • Budgeting and financial wellbeing workshops
  • Healthy eating guidance and support
  • Anonymous support channels for those not ready to speak up
📢

Staying Informed

Welfare That Finds You

If you don't know support exists, it may as well not exist.

  • Regular wellbeing emails timed around deadlines and exams
  • One clear welfare hub for all resources
  • Better advertising so no student misses an event
  • Clear signposting so you always know where to get help

"Welfare starts with community. Let's build one together where every student feels supported, included and heard."
