Support in response to UK and world events

When UK and world events affect members of our community, we know how important it is to have the right support. 

We understand that UK and world events can have an impact on many different aspects of our students’ lives and can also sometimes affect good relations between people. This could include civil unrest, a terrorist attack, or natural disaster or earthquake.
If you're affected by events, there are many services at the University where you can find support, whether you’re looking for practical help, advice, or someone to talk to. 
You may be directly affected or what has happened may be triggering due to previous personal experiences. 

Getting emotional and wellbeing support

There is support available, depending on what you need.

  • Student counselling and wellbeing. This has a daily drop in service or you can get one to one support sessions.
  • Looking after yourself A webpage that has tips on how to balance looking your wellbeing at a time of high stress with your academic studies
  • LUU Help and Support - the team can offer independent advice on any practical difficulties you may be experiencing, e.g within your house, financial issues
  • The University Chaplaincy Service. They have a Christain chaplain, Jewish Rabbi and a Muslim Student Advisor who are here to listen and offer pastoral and spiritual support. They also help with group activity such as reflection, unity events and vigils.
  • Leeds University Union student clubs and societies can also be an important source of support and friendship, and a good place to meet people who are sharing similar experiences.
