Help CenterFinding support
Adjusting to student life in London is exciting but can also be stressful. There is no need to suffer in silence if you are finding things difficult. Talk to a friend, your Resident Advisor
or another trusted person if you are feeling homesick, lonely or depressed. Remember, you are not alone. Most universities also have counselling or wellbeing services you can access. You can also talk to your GP. If neither of these routes are successful, the Dean of Student Life may be able to refer you for 6 sessions with external counsellors funded by ISH.
Helping others
If you notice that another resident is behaving differently, isolating him/herself from others, or becoming very emotional, please do not ignore it but encourage them to speak to their RA or a member of staff at ISH or at their university. In extreme cases, where you think there is a safety risk to a particular student or to others, please report immediately to a Duty Manager or the Dean of Student Life.
