The recent military actions and conflict in Ukraine have been creating headlines worldwide. Dumfries & Galloway College Student Association recognises the devastating impact that this may have on students and staff who are from that region, have family/friends there, or who may have experienced conflict in other areas of the world. Beyond those who are directly affected, we understand that the current news-cycle and ongoing uncertainty can cause distress or increased anxiety.
During this period, we wanted to take the opportunity to remind students of the support that is available.
- If you would like to talk or get emotional support, please visit our self-referral function on our Student Portal.
- The Wellbeing Pod is also available to give some basic guidance on mental health concerns and to offer signposting of external organisations who may be able to provide additional support
- Togetherall is a free 24/7 online support service where you can go if you’re feeling down or struggling to cope. Whether you want to speak to peers or to a counsellor, there will be someone there every minute of every day.
