Wellbeing
Often, if you are experiencing issues related to your studies or life at the University, you may want to speak with one of our Student Advocates
If you are going through a tough time, it is likely that you will also be feeling some distress. While TUSA Advocates are great listeners and provide a safe space for conversation, it’s important to note that we are not counsellors.
TUSA advocates can assist with the following
- Listening
- Providing free, independent, and confidential advice on the necessary steps to take
- Explaining University rules and regulations
- Guiding you through processes
- Assisting with letters
- Attending meetings as needed
- Supporting appeals
We value your happiness, well-being, and sense of support within the community.
For the distress or anxiety you may be experiencing as a result of the issues you seek support for, counsellors, GPs, and other mental health care providers are better equipped to help.
If we believe that you would benefit from counselling in addition to our advocacy support, we can help by informing you about your options and even assisting you in scheduling an appointment if needed.
The University offers counselling services to students, and no referral is required to seek help.
