At Brit College, we understand that in today's fast-paced world, it's easy to forget about your mental health. As a college, we take responsibility for helping our students stay healthy in both body and mind. If you require additional support, we are here to help you grow and develop by providing the right help. 

We have staff who have been trained as Mental Health First Aiders.  Their details can be found on the notice board in the reception area.
