Whether you’re heading home or staying in Southampton over the Winter break, remember there’s still support available to you. In this post, we’ve pulled together some important details on where to find support and what’s coming up at SUSU’s Winter Festival!
Support When You Need It
If it’s an emergency, call 999. For non-emergency police, call 101. For medical advice when it isn’t urgent, call 111.
If you need someone to talk to at any time, Samaritans are available 24/7 with confidential support. You can also use Togetherall, a free, anonymous online community to help you look after your mental health.
For practical issues like housing, money, or academics, our SUSU Advice Centre pages are always available, even when offices are closed. The University Wellbeing resources are there year-round, too.
And remember, the Student Hub is open 24/7 for advice and signposting, so you can get guidance whenever you need it over the break.
