Student support
At Coventry University Group, we recognise the importance of mental health and wellbeing and encourage students who feel they need support to reach out. If we feel well, we can study better with improved confidence, energy and motivation.
Each student at Coventry University Group has access to Spectrum.Life, a free support platform which is accessible 24/7, 365 days a year. Spectrum.Life is a confidential listening and support service for all registered students immediate emotional and mental health support. It is delivered by an external partner on behalf of our Student Wellbeing team.
The service can be used to support with:
- depression, anxiety and stress
- grief and bereavement
- addictions
- relationships
- stress and work-life balance issues
- physical health
- any other emotional challenges that students might be facing.
Spectrum.Life’s ‘In the Moment’ student support service provides students with access to support to help cope and deal more effectively with any personal problems. Where appropriate, students can have up to six sessions of counselling for mild-moderate wellbeing issues. Counselling is delivered via telephone or video. Students can access support through a confidential, freephone telephone line, an online chat function through the platform or by requesting a call back.
Our Student Wellbeing team are here to support students with any mental or physical health needs, including mental health, wellbeing, disability, harassment and incidents, and spirituality and faith support. An onsite GP is also available for students studying in Coventry.
The team will signpost students to relevant services so they can get the support they need. Students can book an appointment to speak to a member of the team face-to-face or online. All mental health support is confidential and carried out by our team of experienced advisers.
Our student online portal has a designated mental health and wellbeing area where students will find information on the services that we offer and other support that is available to Coventry University Group students.
