Students Supporting Students Zoom Group 

The Students Supporting Students Group is ran via the Students Union and provides a safe space for students to engage in general conversation with other students via Zoom.

Conversation can be about anything for example, how university is going, what events are coming up or even TV programmes. There are no expectations for students to share any sensitive information during the group – this is more for a relaxing chat over a cuppa and to make friends along the way!

If you would like to join the group please email – Elizabeth.Brown@tees.ac.uk for the Zoom details.

Have a query about mental health support or what’s available to you? Come along to our mental health drop in and have an informal chat with an adviser. Please note, the drop in is not a private appointment, however an adviser can arrange this for you within the drop in. (SLB Lounge)
