Where to get help

Safeguarding

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to safeguarding, wellbeing, and mental health. A trained Mental Health First Aider is available to support both staff and students, and we can also signpost you to the organisations listed below, as well as other local services.

If you’d like mental health support, we encourage you to reach out to your Mental Health First Aider, or speak with a member of the Cambridge Safeguarding Team about anything that may be worrying you.

If you need immediate help, would prefer to talk to someone anonymously, or want to learn more about positive mental health, please explore the links below to find the right support for you.
