There are a number of things you can do:
Think
- If there is immediate danger or if someone is seriously injured, contact the emergency services on 999 (or 112 from a mobile phone).
- If an incident has just happened try and find somewhere you feel safe.
Talk
- If you're worried about someone else, consider talking with them to see how they are, and if they feel comfortable discussing any concerns.
- If there’s a friend, family member, member of staff, or colleague that you trust, consider talking the situation through with them.
- Trade unions are organised groups of workers who come together to support each other in the workplace or place of study. There are a number of trade unions at the University of South Wales. For staff there is UCU, Unison and GMB and for students there is the Students' Union.
Report
- Students and staff can report that they or someone they know is struggling with their mental health using the University’s Mental Health Concern Form. A Wellbeing Adviser will review your form and get in touch to provide appropriate support.
Support
- Students can reach out to Mental Wellbeing for a range of help and support. You can book an appointment with a Wellbeing Adviser to talk you through the support available.
- Staff can access support via the Staff Support Scheme, or contact your manager or HR by emailing hrbusinesspartner@southwales.ac.uk
- There are also a number of specialist external organisations that can help. There's a list here.
