Concerns about others

2 mannequins

It is natural to occasionally become concerned about the health or wellbeing of another person. It is in our nature to want to reach out and help those who are experiencing difficulty and as a university we encourage all members of our community to look out for each other.

At the same time, however, we should be aware of our own limits - if trying to help someone else begins to impact on our own health and wellbeing, then the help that we can offer will be less and less effective.

The links on this page will give you some guidance on how you can best support those around you and what other sources of support are available for them and for you.

If you cannot find the information you need on these pages please contact us at studentwellbeing@derby.ac.uk
