Today is #BlueMonday

January can be a tough time, especially as we settle back into routines after the festive season. For university students, returning to campus life can feel particularly overwhelming.

Are you finding it difficult to keep up with your course, socialise, manage your finances, or live more independently? If you’re feeling low or stressed, it’s important to take steps to look after your mental health.

Our guide, created specifically for blind and partially sighted students, is packed with practical tips to help you navigate these challenges and prioritise your wellbeing.
