HEALTH & WELLBEING

All Tufts in London and Oxford students have access to On Call International Global Assistance and Insurance Program while they are abroad. Contact On Call if you need to see a doctor, dentist, or other medical professional while you're abroad, if you are experiencing a mental health crisis, or if you need help in an emergency.

Pharmacists can also be helpful in suggesting what to take for minor illness.

Mental Wellbeing

We consider mental well-being to mean more than an absence of mental illness; it is about having the skills to foster happiness even when confronted with challenges.

Mental Health — and especially student mental health — is a common discussion in the UK and there is now virtually no stigma attached to discussing it openly, as you’ll find when you are here. There is a national charity, Student Minds, dedicated to student mental health, and each UK university has dedicated services and support.

You can arrange regular counselling in the UK via On Call International, details above, as well as accessing 24/7 crisis counselling. As always, please let us know how we can help.
