Available Support
Esher College recognises that mental
health and wellbeing is a growing concern and therefore has a team of
staff dedicated to promoting and supporting mental health. The College
aims to provide a supportive, inclusive environment and is therefore
proactive in its approach. Workshops and courses are run for students
with anxiety and stress and events are organised to raise awareness. In
order to maintain continuity and to provide support structures within
the College for students diagnosed with mental health problems, the
College works closely with organisations such as Child and Adolescent
Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and outreach services.
