‘When it rains follow the rainbow, when it's dark look for the stars’

wellbeing team 2022 

This innovative hub is dedicated to supporting students to maintain positive wellbeing and mental health. The centre is run by Miss Leanne York, a dedicated and experienced member of staff who will work 1-2-1 with students or on a more informal and drop-in basis.

The role of the hub is to also support vulnerable students and those needing emergency or long term emotional support.

• Students are referred into 1-2-1 or group mentoring sessions
• We support and work closely with Wellbeing Exeter - ‘Community Connectors’ https://www.wellbeingexeter.org.uk/community-connecting
• We have a team of Student Mental Health Ambassadors who are trained by the NHS mental health support team and help to run support break time supervision rooms, help promote mental health awareness days and look at ways we can improve the Mental Health support we offer at West Exe.
