Please note that we encourage doctoral researchers to access University support in the first instance if concerns stem from aspects of their doctoral programme/have an impact on progression etc.

However, if you would like external and generic support, you can access the Employee Assistance Programme (trusted by 50,000+ client companies) which the Doctoral College has paid to enable doctoral researchers to use. Provided by Assured Health the EAP provides confidential, unlimited support on any matters that might be of concern including mental health, relationships and money matters. The service is free and available 24 hours a day, both online and over the phone. The site has an extensive library of guides, podcasts, planners and more, and the service is also available to immediate family members, should they need it. Their 24/7 confidential helpline can be reached by calling 0800 030 5182 and there is a helpful guide detailing the process when calling.
