Student Wellbeing Drop-in sessions
Held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11-14.00 at the Pilkington Library
The drop-in sessions can be used to talk briefly to a Wellbeing Adviser for 10-15 minutes about your concerns. The sessions offer quick advice or guidance on mental health and wellbeing. Concerns may be to do with several things including life events, wellbeing, financial difficulties, physical health, or injury. We can talk through what’s going on and think of a way forward together.
Some areas in which drop-ins can be helpful are:
- General wellbeing concerns (including low mood, anxiety, stress)
- Course related problems (where wellbeing is impacted)
- To hear about what other support is available at Loughborough University
Your concerns don’t need to be managed alone. There are lots of options of support at Loughborough University. The Wellbeing Team are here to support you with problems that may impact you on your academic journey. The team may also help to connect you with another team or service that are better able to do so.
The drop-in sessions are at the Pilkington Library from 7th May until 30th May (*except for 26th May which is a closure day) after which they will return to the Bridgeman Building on the same days at 10-12. You will see The Wellbeing Stand when you come into the main entrance.

The team may book you in for a longer appointment if that is what they feel you need, and can also support you to connect you with another team or service that may be better placed to support you.
