Wellbeing Wednesday
Welcome to the first edition of the Business School Wellbeing Wednesday Update for 2022/23.
Each Wednesday (during term time) we will post a staff blog highlighting wellbeing support that is available to Business School students within the School and from across the university to allow staff to pass on the information to students.
Wellbeing Support for Business School Students
The Business School has dedicated health and wellbeing support for our students:
- Counselling – (to arrange an assessment, please contact therapyappointments@ncl.ac.uk)
- Disability Support (including Mental Health, long-term Physical Health conditions, and Specialist Learning) please contact disabilityadvisor@ncl.ac.uk
- Welfare Support – wellbeingconsultancy@ncl.ac.uk
Other Sources of Support: Our Student and Staff Wellbeing Service work with local and national organisations to support you and help you maximise your academic potential and gain the most from your time here at Newcastle.
Student Support Plans: If you disclose a long-term mental health condition, supported by recent medical evidence, you may be able to access reasonable adjustments and support to help you engage in your studies. Students who have an ongoing mental health condition or disability can access a Student Support Plan: disabilityadvisor@ncl.ac.uk.
Wellbeing Workshops: The School is hosting Workshops on a range of topics from Managing Stress and Anxiety to How to Sleep: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/wellbeing/newseventsandprojects/workshops/

Supporting survivors of hate crime, hate incidents, sexual violence, and spiking: Newcastle University is committed to eliminating all forms of hate crime, sexual violence, harassment, and discrimination within our community. You can disclose incidents of sexual violence, hate crime, spiking, and domestic abuse at Newcastle University using online disclosure forms accessed here and information about the Survivor Support Service within Student Health and Wellbeing Services can be found here.
Keeping your details up to date: Please remember to update your address information on S3P, including your Newcastle accommodation address and your most up-to-date contact number. This is particularly important for international students who do not have a home address in the UK. If we ever need to contact you these are the details we will use.
Personal tutors: Each student has a personal tutor, who is a member of academic staff and who is responsible for looking after the student’s interests throughout their time at the university. Please respond to emails from your personal tutor and inform them about any difficulties you may be experiencing which are affecting your academic work.
