The Student Wellbeing Advisers work with students who have wellbeing concerns and ensure they have meaningful face-to-face contact in a timely manner. They work with all teams in the service to ensure you receive the appropriate support.
GCU’s Student Wellbeing Service has three Student Wellbeing Advisers, each assigned to one of the three academic schools. You can reach them by emailing the Student Wellbeing Advisers.

Our Mental Health Advisers work alongside the Disability Service and Counselling service, but it's not their role to be a Counsellor. They're here to support you, help you understand your rights, and explore additional resources that may assist you in accessing education.
The Mental Health Adviser will be able to coordinate support if you have mental health difficulties and act as a point of contact for the duration of your studies.
If you'd like to meet with a team member, you can email the Mental Health Advisers and complete a first appointment form.
For more information visit our Mental health advice page.
The Disability team provides advice, information and services if you are a disabled student or applicant. Each year, around 10% of all Glasgow Caledonian students disclose a disability. This includes students with long-term medical conditions, sensory impairment, mental ill-health, physical impairments, specific learning disabilities (such as dyslexia) or being on the autism spectrum.
If you' like to get in touch, you can email the Disability team. and share your needs by completing a self-assessment questionnaire.
For more information please visit our Disability service page.
