New mental wellbeing peer support



We have a new team in place to help support any member of staff with their mental wellbeing.

The LJMU Connectors are on hand to provide peer support and make sure colleagues have access to the appropriate resources and services.

The connectors are receiving ongoing training to spot early signs of mental ill health, listen to staff in confidence and without judgement, and to make sure people can access professional support.

The roles are in addition to our existing wellbeing services and are part of LJMU's commitment to providing an environment where people feel supported and are able to thrive.

The connectors are based in academic and professional service teams across our campuses.

If you feel you need confidential advice or support around your wellbeing, please contact the connector in your area (you are welcome to approach a connector from a different area of LJMU if you are more comfortable doing so, but please be assured that all contacts are completely confidential).
