I’m worried about someone else’s mental health. What can I do?


Is this person an imminent risk to themselves or someone else? If so, you should call 999 immediately.

If the risk is not immediate, you can contact Student Wellbeing Services or by phone: +44 (0)1225 876543.

We’ll follow things up, and if you prefer, we’ll keep your details confidential.


Further advice and guidance

Student Minds has some helpful information about how to start a conversation with a friend that you’re concerned about.

Supporting someone else with their mental health can be difficult, and it’s important that you make sure that you also look after yourself.
If you are a Bath Spa student or staff member seeking support, our advisors can connect you with further support available here at the University. You can connect with them via the Request Contact from an Advisor form.
There may be an equivalent service of this kind at your university if you are studying or working elsewhere, or there are national services to support you such as the 24/7 Samaritans helpline.
