PGR WELLBEING

Staff and/or students sitting at a desk

The University of Glasgow recognises that in order for our students to meet their full potential and to enjoy their experience of studying here, we must ensure that we are not only supporting them academically, but also helping students successfully navigate the challenges they face along the way.

Below are some useful links to internal and external sources of information about looking after your wellbeing or supporting your students to do so.

Mental Health Support in the University

Please take a look at this video, produced for World Mental Health Day in 2019, featuring Susan Calman, Thomas McFerran (SRC) and Selina Woolcott (Health Safety & Wellbeing). Please note the Big White Wall is now called Togetherall.

The key messages are:

  • It's OK if you are not OK - there is help
  • No one should have to suffer from mental ill health alone or in silence
  • The University offers lots of help and support for staff and students
