Health and wellbeing

Mental health guidance liaison desk

If you are worried about your mental wellbeing, you can access tailored support by registering with the  student mental health, counselling and therapies service*. After you have registered, you will be contacted by staff, who will provide more information on the remote services we offer.

*Please note that this is not a crisis service. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, our pages on emergency mental health support provides you with some options on where and how you can access immediate care. 

Togetherall

As a student, you have free international access to Togetherall, an online mental health community providing 24/7 support from peers and trained counsellors.

Pregnancy and maternity support

You will need to contact our Student Experience Officer Emma Vessey (e.vessey@sheffield.ac.uk) directly to put together a personalised Pregnancy and Maternity Support Plan, which will consider your academic requirements and personal needs. You can find out more, and see a template support plan, on the student handbook (login required).

Disability Liaison Officers

Disability Liaison Officers (DLOs) are members of University staff based in departments who are a designated point of contact for disabled students. Our DLO is Emma Vessey (e.vessey@sheffield.ac.uk), but you can see an up-to-date list of DLOs and more information on the DLO webpages.

Extensions and extenuating circumstances

There are a range of reasons that you may need to apply for a deadline extension - our student support team will do their best to accommodate you. Information on how to apply for extensions and extenuating circumstances can be found on your student handbook. Please note that you will need to be signed in to your MUSE account to access this.

Report and support

If you or someone else experiences any form of discrimination such as harassment, abuse, bullying, or sexual violence that may be based on race, gender, sexuality, disability or other characteristics, you can use the report and support service to inform us of your concerns and access help.
