Further support information

It is important that you use the supports around you for help when you are feeling low in mood, such as a family member or friend. You should also talk to your GP who has been trained to help people having such difficulties.

The University’s counselling centre can provide you with further support. Their website is www.ucc.ie/studentcounselling
