The @UCLWellbeing campaign is worth your support. UCL's psychological services need changing.
Just a reminder that UCL made an £18m surplus last year - but all these problems with student support go unfixed!
4. Personal tutors in departments are hugely inconsistent - some are helpful, others not partly because their training in MH is 'optional'
3. Some people are turned away because they're 'not ill enough' - others are told they're 'too ill'
2. Huge demand for services, but little advertising because of fears about capacity - so lots of students don't know what support is there.
We talked about some major problems with UCL student support - message us if you know about more: 1. Waiting times of at least 8 weeks. ->
Our first campaign meeting was really productive - lots of work to do now! Message us if you want to get involved!

london people and that, check out @UCLWellbeing and help inform its campaign around student support services at UCL
In his last year as provost Malcolm Grant gave himself a 12% pay rise. Imagine if that had funded overstretched student support services!
