Student Support and Wellbeing

Your time at University will be exciting and rewarding, but it will also have its challenges. We recognise that many of our students will need support during their time at University. Whether you have a longstanding condition or have recently started to experience difficulties, there are a range of support options.

Trevelyan College Student Support Office

Your College student support team is here to support you in looking after your wellbeing. You can talk to them about any personal, health, or academic concerns that you might have throughout your time at Durham. They can offer you advice and support and, where necessary, liaise with other departments on your behalf. You can set up appointments by email or attend a drop-in session.

You can contact the College Student Support Office by emailing  trevelyan.studentsupport@durham.ac.uk

Peer Support

Your JCR Welfare team are elected by the student body. They are here to provide you with peer support throughout your time at Trevs. They also run campaigns weeks to educate and promote conversations about important topics like consent, mental health, and disabilities.

You can read more about our JCR Welfare team on the JCR website: Welfare | Trevelyan College JCR
