Starting a conversation about your feelings and experiences with your friends, family, or a professional can be difficult sometimes.
‘Let’s Talk’ is here to change that.
We want to help you start what can be really daunting conversations and to empower you to talk about your experiences or challenges. Through conversations we can support others in speaking about their wellbeing and help ourselves by reaching out for the support we need.
About Let's Talk
We understand that your time at university can bring its challenges - which is why wellbeing and welfare is at the heart of our Surrey community.
We’re proud to provide a number of services to support our students, however we want to do more. We want to create a dialogue around important wellbeing topics so that we can continue to break down barriers and help people get the support they need before they reach a point of crisis.
You can also find stories and experiences shared by other members of our community in the hope that it will encourage others to talk about the issues they are facing, embrace their uniqueness, and improve their own physical and mental wellbeing.
How to get help and support
Pastoral support from the University
If something is bothering you, there are free and confidential services to make sure you are as happy and successful as possible during your time at Surrey.
Support from the Students' Union
The Students’ Union Support Zone, led by the VP Support, can assist you with your mental and physical wellbeing, as well as academic support.
Need urgent help?
There are a number of safe places you can go and helplines you can call or text if you are experiencing a mental health crisis. In an emergency, call Campus Safety on 01483 683333 if you or someone you know needs immediate help on campus. If you are off campus call 999 for the emergency services.
Wisdom App
Through Health Assured - our Student Assistance Programme - you can get the Wisdom App for free access to a library of wellbeing plans, health trackers and other resources.
Report + Support
Abuse, bullying, harassment, hate crime and sexual misconduct are never ok. All staff, students and visitors to campus can report something anonymously or with their contact details through Report + Support.
Worried about a friend?
Its important to look out for one another. If you are concerned about another student's wellbeing you can let the Centre for Wellbeing know, confidentially, by completing a simple online form.
Let's talk finance
We know that your financial challenges are greater than ever. Rising costs of bills, food and transport mean that many people are worried about their finances.
You can find support, advice and services for students on the finance hub.
Wellbeing events
Let’s Talk is all about creating a dialogue around key wellbeing topics.
One of the best ways to do this is by meeting likeminded people and learning from wellbeing experts at events.
Looking after your physical health
Research shows that exercise can boost self-esteem, mood and sleep quality. As a student you can take advantage of great membership deals at Surrey Sports Park. Whether you'd like to take part in social sport or want to enhance your performance - there's something for everyone.
