When a student has a mental health or emotional difficulty
What should you be aware of?
The University has a duty of care to provide support for students experiencing mental health difficulties and legal responsibilities to make adjustments for those with long-term conditions. Students may experience a range of issues that arise from their time at university or from outside of university life that have the potential to negatively impact on their education (for example settling in, relationship issues, bereavement, anxiety, depression and lack of confidence).
What should you do?
During University core opening hours: A confidential service is available by self-referral. The student can contact the following service:
The Counselling & Mental Health Service Sunny Hill House, Hendon Campus. Email:
cmh@mdx.ac.uk or telephone 020 8411 4118 (Please see campus map on p75)
Drop-in appointments are available at 2pm daily (Monday – Friday). No appointment needed – students can just turn up. Appointments are available during core hours and two evenings per week until 8pm.
Students can view further information on appointments, confidentiality, frequently asked questions and helpsheets here:
