Use it when you need:

Local therapy services
Support groups
Specific mental health organisations (ADHD, eating disorders, LGBTQ+ support, etc.)
Community resources near you
NHS services in your area

No more Googling "mental health support near me" and getting lost in results.
Search by what you're dealing with, and it shows you what's actually available.

There's also an app - download it from the Hub of Hope website if you want it on your phone.

Still not sure what you need? - Here's how to decide:

Use crisis services (Samaritans/Shout/999) if:
  • You're thinking about ending your life
  • You're planning to hurt yourself
  • You're in immediate danger
  • Someone else is in immediate danger
Contact the wellbeing team if:
  • You're struggling but not in immediate crisis
  • You need someone at college to talk to
  • You're dealing with ongoing anxiety, stress, or mental health conditions
  • You need help figuring out what support you need
  • Something's happened and you don't know what to do
Use the Hub of Hope if:
  • You want to find specific services (therapy, support groups, etc.)
  • You need local mental health resources
  • You're looking for specialist support (eating disorders, ADHD, LGBTQ+, etc.)
  • You want to see what's available in your area
Still unsure?
When in doubt, contact the Wellbeing Team.
They'll help you figure out what you need.
