Learn how students under 25 can access free counselling and mental health support through this national service.
This scheme provides mental health support and counselling to help young people manage their well-being and navigate the challenges of student life.
Who it's for
This service is specifically designed for students. To qualify for this support, you must be under the age of 25.
What you get
You can access mental health support and counselling services at no cost. These services are designed to assist students in managing their mental well-being, providing a way to seek help without the burden of financial stress.
What it costs you
The service is free to use. To access the support, you will need to navigate the referral process, which may involve a referral from a GP or a self-referral through your specific campus services.
The catch to know
It is important to be aware that waitlists for these services can sometimes be long. Because demand for mental health support can be high, you may not receive immediate assistance. To avoid long delays, you may want to look into using campus-specific services first.

- Check with your campus services regarding self-referral options.
