We have an extensive network of Mental Health First Aiders placed across the University who are available to support staff.
Mental Health First Aiders are trained to listen non-judgementally, provide support and reassurance and signpost to appropriate professional services.
If you are concerned about you mental health - or worried about a colleague - talking to a trained Mental Health First Aider could help.
Book a confidential conversation with a Mental Health First Aider
We have launched a new online booking system, making it easier than ever for colleagues to access confidential support.
Simply visit the MHFA Bookings page to arrange a confidential, 45 minute conversation with an MHFAider. You can choose to be allocated an MHFAider at random, or you can choose a specific MHFAider from a drop-down list of available colleagues.
This is a new system designed to improve accessibility to our incredible network of MHFAiders. We expect there may be a few issues with the system as we roll out to staff, so please bear with us and contact healthsafety@sussex.ac.uk if you experience any problems.
Find out more and make a booking via the Staff Wellbeing Hub.
