Where can I get help with wellbeing/ mental health?

The Student's Union can help signpost you to university and non-university wellbeing resources and services.

The Student’s Union does not provide wellbeing/ mental health services. 

If you need support, you can contact the wellbeing service at Sheffield Hallam University via Hallam help. You can read more about the University wellbeing service on their website: Wellbeing | SHU. You can call them on 0114 225 2136 or email them at student.wellbeing@shu.ac.uk. If you would like an appointment with a Wellbeing Practitioner you can register for this service.


The Student’s Union also provides information on a range of wellbeing services online: Wellbeing | Hallam Student’s Union. 

If you are unable to get in touch with the wellbeing service and require urgent or out of hours help please contact one of the following services:

  • In an Emergency - Call 999 or visit A&E for life-threatening emergencies. Northern General Hospital is the nearest A&E department to the university.
  • Urgent, but not life-threatening - phone NHS 111 and select option 2 to talk about mental health, available 24 hours.
Sheffield Support Hub also provides emotional, social and practical support to anyone aged 16 and over who are in crisis or feel they are heading toward a crisis situation. Open Monday to Friday, 6pm - midnight, Saturday and Sunday, 2pm - midnight.
