Health & well-being
It’s NORMAL to feel fearful, anxious and have increased concerns about your health. We have added a link to Mind which shares some good advice on supporting your mental health during this time.
The college’s pastoral and welfare team are available to help you maintain your psychological health in these challenging times. If you want to get in touch, please email welfare@wvr.ac.uk.
For any students who need emergency support we would advise contacting your GP or to access A&E, but please be aware that these services may be affected due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
