Mental Health First Aiders

Queen Mary is also a member of the Mental Health First Aid network. The purpose of the network is to promote health and wellbeing and provide a supportive and open culture towards mental health. You might also like to refer the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England website for further resources of support.

There are a number of Mental Health First Aiders in Schools and departments across campus trained to understand the factors that affect wellbeing and who are able to provide immediate support to those in crisis. They will listen without judgement and be able to signpost to additional resources of further support. If you or someone you know needs to contact a Mental Health First Aider, a list of trained mental health first aiders is available here (log-in required).

Alternatively, you can call Security on 020 7882 3333 (internal extension 3333) in a case of emergency.
