Being a student and looking after your own mental health
It can be worrying to disclose a mental health diagnosis to tutors or friends, the anticipated fear of stigma and discrimination can be worse than dealing with a condition. Students can be assured that UCLan practice is non discriminatory, and the university will endeavour to make reasonable adjustments to support you.
If your disclosure gives full and open information, it will ensure we can make appropriate adjustments. The University understands that some of your disclosure may involve sensitive information. We have procedures to make sure all personal information about you and your condition is secure. Sometimes, for your benefit, the University may need to share some of your information. If so, we will consult you fully.
The Site.Org provides a guide to real student perspectives on mental health and wellbeing. The Site provides fact sheets and articles and peer-to-peer support and advice on issues.
University is full of high and lows. The highs are good and the lows you try to rise above, but sometimes it can be hard. Young PAPYRUS is created by students for students and offers tips and advice to help with some of the lows students may face at university.
Mental health is about the way you think and feel and your ability to deal with ups and downs. It’s important to take care of yourself and get the most from life.
