On campus

Looking after your mental health at university

Starting university can feel exciting, but it can also be a lot to handle all at once. You might be dealing with academic pressure, money worries, and the challenge of settling into a new place without your usual support network.

Juggling coursework, deadlines and possibly a part-time job can start to feel overwhelming, and it’s not unusual to feel stressed or anxious. Living more independently can also leave you feeling a bit isolated or disconnected at times.

As a Jewish student, you might also be dealing with antisemitism on campus, which can add another layer of pressure – making it harder to feel safe, included, or able to be yourself.

If you’re affected by any of these feelings, Jami is here for you. For anyone aged 25 and under, we can offer you:

• one-to-one online or in-person sessions with a mental health practitioner or counsellor
• a safe, confidential space to talk
• tools for managing thoughts, feelings and relationships
• support that understands Jewish life and community
• workshops and group opportunities to help you make connections
