- Reaching out when you need it
Contact your trusted family or friends and ask for support, access our service by submitting a referral form or using the online 24/7 support available.

- Focus on positives in your life
Create a journal where you note down something positive each day. Don’t spend all your energy on worrying on the negatives or things you can’t control.

- Getting physically active,
Even a short 10-20-minute walk can help you. Think about cleaning up your room or following an online exercise video. You do not need to start a full fitness plan if that feels overwhelming.

- Helping others, thinking about volunteering.
Check the Student Union volunteering opportunities and get involved.

- Connecting with others.
The SU has a range of societies you can sign up to and meet new people, check what is available. If your interest isn’t there you can make your own society by contacting the Students Union directly.

You can also sign up for an SU Buddy, read more here.

Finally, think about attending the Friendship Evening every Wedbesdat at 7:00 pm, email chris.howson@sunderland.ac.uk to join in.
