Mental health websites

Published 25 January 2024

Accessing mental health websites help students understand and recognise mental health difficulties, and to start making the steps towards recovery. Support your students with their mental health journey by sharing our recommended mental heath websites.

These will help with:

  • recognition of signs and symptoms

  • improving attitudes to self-help and help-seeking

  • feeling less alone.
