What our clients say about us
"Having someone who understands both the university side and the mental health side has helped so much. This support doesn’t exist anywhere else in the university structure for me. Without my mentor’s advice and encouragement, I would have dropped out. It has been so helpful to know I have someone on my side"
BA Student
"I don't think I would be able to continue with my course without the help of my mentor. The opportunity to discuss and reflect on the problems that my disability causes in relation to my studies has been invaluable... I think the mentoring is also going to be very important in enabling me to confidently manage a return to employment following my course"
BSc Student
