The National Union of Students (NUS) Scotland are currently running a mental health campaign, Think Positive, to encourage students to think about their mental health. Here is a message from them...

"The Think Positive project exists to improve the mental wellbeing of students in Scotland and tackle mental health stigma on campuses. To help achieve this we are conducting research to find out what aspects of student life could be stressful and where students go for support."

Sexual Health

The Students' Association in each of the Students' Unions has a supply of free condoms that you can grab if you come and see us. There are also loads of places that you can buy in bulk online. We can also give advice on STI's, pregancy and emergency contraception. We also can give advice on the nearest sexual health clinic and other external organisations.
