Letting us know you need help is perfectly normal and we believe all of our Cranfield community should be able to talk freely about their mental health and wellbeing.
If you’re worried about your mental health and wellbeing there are a number of things you can do:
- Talk
- Report
- Get support

If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, you can call 999 (or 112 from a mobile).
Every member of staff has the right to belong to or not belong to a Trade Union. Cranfield recognises three Trade Unions - UCU, Unite and Unison. To find out more and see what support they can provide, please click here.
Alternatively if there’s a friend, family member or colleague that you can trust, talking things through with them can sometimes help.
