Support for you from us

At York St John, we have services for everything from mental health support to help with developing study skills. Our specialist teams will be there whenever you need them.

Wellbeing support

We have an experienced team of wellbeing staff who can offer you confidential support and advice for various concerns or difficulties. Whether you’d like help with practical challenges, or want to talk about your mental wellbeing, they’re here for you. You can book an appointment with a counsellor or mental health practitioner, explore self-help resources, or attend weekly mindfulness sessions. You can speak to them in person, over the phone or on a video call. Our popular therapy dog, Blue, is also available for you to book a wellbeing session with.

I’ve had the time of my life here. Living away from home has helped me to become much more independent. The best thing about York St John is that it’s a really supportive University.

Cost of living

We have services available across our teams to deal with the impact of the ongoing cost of living crisis. From financial support to help with food supplies, we’ll be there for you however we can. We have recently opened the YSJ Larder, a service where students in need of food can collect supplies. We want you to be happy, safe and comfortable while you study with us.
