GETTING SUPPORT: WELLBEING

Wellbeing / Getting Support

How can we help you learn?

Supporting the wellbeing of ākonga in our learning community is our number one priority.

If you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just feel like you need some extra support, please reach out to the student advisor team.

Every learner is different, so the student advisor team will work with you to find the best way forward for you.

This may involve working together on a study schedule, discussing ways you can decrease your workload, or even just chatting things through.

The student advisor team can also connect you with the on-campus and online support services provided by your enrolling institute.

We also have some resources available to help you maintain your mental and emotional wellbeing right here on Your Support.

Support available through your enrolling institute

If you’re struggling and need to talk things through, it’s important to ask for help. Click on the name of your enrolling institute to find out more about the counselling and student support services available to you.

The student advisor team can connect you with your institute’s support services.
