About Mental Health and Wellbeing

Talk
If there’s a friend, family member or colleague that you can trust, talking things through with them can sometimes help.
If you're not sure who to talk to, please reach out to our Guidance team on guidance@fife.ac.uk
If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, you can call 999 (or 112 from a mobile).

If you want to talk to someone for support, please contact our Health and Wellbeing team. You can find more information about supporting your wellbeing at college by clicking here.
The information you give us will be shared with a small group of College staff from Student Experience, and Human Resources areas who will assess how best the College can respond. The content of the form will be accessible only to a very limited group of staff. Information regarding staff will be directed to the HR Managers for an appropriate response.
