As we enter the start of the revision and examination period we want highlight some of the things that you can do to make sure you're looking after your mental health. 

We know that this can be a difficult time and want to remind you of the support and information you can access as a UofG student.

Whatever your concerns are, there is always someone available to help. Please take the time to explore the support resources available at the university just in case you need to access them.

Support Services

To complement our 24 hour Counselling and Advice Line (0800 028 3766), the new Wisdom app can help you to track your wellness, improve your mental health and stay resilient. The app provides access to health plans, a mood tracker, breathing techniques and more. It also allows you to contact a counsellor via live chat 24/7 265 days a year. It can be downloaded from your usual app store and your log in code is MHA240962.  
This 24 hour Line and Wisdom App are designed to operate alongside the existing provision from our internal counselling and support teams. You can explore more information on the Counselling and Wellbeing webpages and access resources such as: 

  • Our programme of Wellbeing Masterclasses, which look at topics including Finding Motivation and Overcoming Procrastination, Stress Management and Mindfulness & Relaxation.
  • You can self-refer to   via their website for one-on-one support. 
  • Peer Wellbeing Support, a confidential, student-led listening service, where you can speak to trained peers on issues such as anxiety, stress, isolation or loneliness. 

The UofG Life app also provides useful links to health and wellbeing resources available to students. With easy access from your mobile, discover more on the services provided by Nightline, Togetherall and CaPS. You can download the app via Apple Store and Google Play. You can also access the app via the University’s app website. 

Make sure you have registered with a local GP. GPs are usually the first point of contact for medical queries. You can find out more about NHS services on their student information pages.

You can also access external services for a variety of counselling and support services.
