Wellbeing Support

At Herbal Hill Studios, We understand that starting university is a significant transition for many students. For some, it will be the first major change in your lives so far. It’s not unusual for students to feel overwhelmed during this time. However, you’re not alone. There are several things you can do to help you feel better and settle in quickly. Find below some information on the most common issues raised by our students. We also have leaflets available at the front desk filled with useful information, tips and tricks. If you would like to have a chat with our residential manager Kyesha Miller she is trained in Mental Health First aid and can signpost you to various support networks if you need additional assistance. Visit her in the office during her working hours. Or send an email to book in for a chat.
