Additional Resources

From blogs to videos, to apps and training programmes, Student Support and Wellbeing have compiled a range of resources and information to promote positive mental health and wellbeing – this includes information for specific student groups, as well as digital resources and apps.

There are also additional resources and programmes that you can get involved with at UCL:

  • UCL Cares provide additional information and resources regarding ways you can look after your mind, body and those around you.
  • Wellbeing workshops and peer support - In partnership with the UCL University Clinic and iCope, a series of wellbeing workshops have been developed. These draw on the principles from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), to address common student challenges such as low mood, worry, perfectionism and assertiveness. These workshops have been pre-recorded and are co-delivered by NHS University Clinic staff and UCL students.
  • Project Active  is about feeling empowered and having fun, but most of all enjoying being active in whatever way works for you! We know sport isn’t for everyone, but embracing an active lifestyle can not only help you feel physically stronger and fitter, it can also improve your mental wellbeing and resilience.  
  • Flourish Scheme - Flourish offers a variety of activities, workshops and social occasions to help students make the most out of their time living in halls.
  • UCL’s 10-minute Mind is a daily guided mindfulness meditation programme that you can subscribe to help ease the anxiety you are feeling.
  • Anxiety: Beat it and regain peace is a 12-week course is available to UCL students
  • The Active Bystander Programme provides training for students to learn how to tackle unacceptable behaviours at UCL and beyond. The programme includes training on safe methods of intervention, exploration of different scenarios and reporting and support for witnessed behaviour. 
  • Look After Your Mate Training is an interactive workshop for students who may be supporting a friend experiencing mental health difficulties.
  • Free Mental Health Training in Camden and Islington: Students can attend a training course (next available Wednesday 1 December) to help them get equipped with the knowledge and skills to better understand mental health and mental illness, to have good quality conversations with friends, family members or work colleagues about mental health and to feel more confident supporting others who may be experiencing poor mental health.
  • 1-2-1 Peer Link Support provides a space for students to speak to fellow UCL students who have been trained in peer support and who have an understanding of some of the support available through the university and wider community.
