Mental Health and Wellbeing
Drop in Sessions
My name is Bobbie Pidgeon and I am the college mental health lead. I offer a 15-minute session where you can discuss any worries or concerns that you may have, and we can put in some immediate strategies to support your mental health.
These sessions are:
Monday & Tuesday from 12.15 – 1.00
Wednesday & Thursday from 12.45 – 1.30
I am based in Blythe 722.
