We are committed to the wellbeing of our students and staff
Especially in these difficult times—when it can feel overwhelming, stressful or isolating.
There may be times at University when you need to speak to someone about an issue, no matter how big or small. Perhaps you have an issue you cannot discuss with friends, family or your tutor.
Here at POLIS—we have Wellbeing Advocates who can help. Whether it's helping you find the support you need or providing a confidential listening ear.
