Wellbeing Support

Wellbeing@ is the wellbeing service at Exeter College and sits within the Student Services department. 
Wellbeing support is accessible to all learners throughout term time. Our Wellbeing Team offer support for a wide range of issues which may impact on students’ wellbeing and learning. 

Meet the Team

Our Wellbeing Team is made up of one Wellbeing Officer and four Wellbeing Advisors.
Together, they create a friendly team with a variety of experiences, expertise and knowledge in order to support our students at College.

How to find us

The team are based at Greystone House (opposite Hele Road reception) and operate a drop-in service between 10am-3pm during term time. Alternatively, the team can offer support via phone or Teams call. We recognise that learners may find face-to-face or phone calls difficult, so where necessary, we are also happy to offer support via email. 

Each faculty and most satellite locations have a dedicated Wellbeing Advisor attached to it so students can receive Wellbeing support within their own learning spaces if they are unable to get to Greystone House or would prefer to remain within their faculty. 

Our team of advisors provide workshops, presentations and small group work within tutorial sessions covering a range of topics and bespoke to the needs of each group of learners.  

All students have access to our online wellbeing platform (via the Student Hub). There is a wealth of useful resources on there to help improve wellbeing, links to external support during out of hours and links to other services within college that may also be able to offer support. 

How we can support you

Our Wellbeing Team will support you to the best of their ability with your wellbeing needs. We can offer you a safe space to listen to your concerns and can signpost you to specialist services if you require more specialist support. We are also able to offer practical tips, self-help resources and short-term interventions to support making improvements to your wellbeing.   

Doink: Introducing Doink! You may have previously known the service C-Card… ‘Doink’ is the new way for young people 13-24 in Devon and Torbay to get free condoms, dams, pregnancy tests, contraceptive advice and sexual health advice. Students can access this service through the Wellbeing team at Greystone House.

Period Products for all: Students can find disposable period products in various bathroom stalls throughout the college and can access reusable products such as moon-cups, period pants and pads from Greystone House for free.
