I'm worried about my mental health and wellbeing

Letting us know you need help is perfectly normal and we believe all of our team should be able to talk freely about their mental health and wellbeing. 

If you’re worried about your mental health and wellbeing there are a number of things you can do: 

 

Talk
If there’s a friend, family member or colleague that you can trust, talking things through with them can sometimes help.

Report
You can make an anonymous disclosure which will allow us to investigate mental wellbeing concerns.
 
Get support
If you are a student, you can reach out to the Student Support and Wellbeing teams
https://www.law.ac.uk/we-support-your-ambition/wellbeing-support/

If you are a member of staff, please contact your Line Manager, access our Employee Assistance Programme or contact your local HR Business Partner for further signposting.

If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, you can call 999 (or 112 from a mobile).

Alternatively, you can access our Wellbeing App available from the App Store and Google Play, or access Together All, an online supportive community for those who are stressed, anxious, low or not coping.
