Promoting student wellbeing helps create a better overall experience for students, which ultimately benefits everyone. If students are able to find support, advice and information and to develop coping skills for life, they are more likely to continue with and be successful in their academic studies, enjoy their student experience and contribute more positively to student life.

Life can be challenging, but we can support if you are feeling anxious, worried or just want to talk. There is always someone you can speak to, here at KESH, if you are worried or concerned about something. Your Pastoral Manager, Head of Year, Form Tutor, our Family Support Officer and councillor, Student Support office, or any other member of staff you feel comfortable talking to.

Free, Confidential Support – Anytime, Anywhere

A new mental health text service is now available for people of all ages across Birmingham and Solihull. The service is free, confidential, and available 24/7 – offering support at the touch of a button.

Text ‘Space’ to 85258 to connect with a trained mental health professional.

Whether you're feeling anxious, stressed, low, or overwhelmed, help is just a text away. This service is especially helpful for those who may find it difficult to talk on the phone or in person.

Launched in partnership between Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and Shout, the UK’s first 24/7 text messaging support service, this initiative aims to make mental health support more accessible to everyone.

In addition to immediate support, texters can be signposted to local services such as:

• Talking Therapies
• Crisis Cafés
• NHS 111 Option 2

This new digital service offers a safe space to talk and is a valuable resource for anyone seeking early help or waiting for further support.
