ASKING FOR HELP
It is NOT a sign of weakness to ask for help
when it is needed – it is considered
appropriate behaviour
SO - DO NOT let things get too bad before you talk
to someone about what you are thinking and
feeling. Even if it is not directly study-related, we
know that what affects you personally, affects
you academically. Do not feel guilty or ashamed
to talk to a counsellor or academic advisor.
If you want to talk to someone:
Uni Counselling Service is a good place to start.
Most campuses have daily ‘drop-in’ sessions
and will always respond to a crisis.
