Links to other sources of help

News flash!! Student Depression website re-launched October 2007

The aim of these links is to offer you one or two practical sites, which will offer help and further links for various problem areas. It does not aim to be comprehensive. If you find we have omitted an obvious link or included an unhelpful one, please contact us.

We take no responsibility for the contents of these independent sites and suggest that such sites should be used in addition to seeking professional medical and student counselling help and not as a substitute.
