Part of Enabling Services, First Support is a team dedicated to supporting students who may be facing difficulty – this includes people who have experienced or been affected by rape, sexual assault, or harassment. Meeting with a Practitioner from the team is a chance to talk things through and explore what further support might be helpful; we can offer these appointments through Microsoft Teams video or audio call, as well as by telephone.
Call First Support on 02380 599 599 and press option 2.

The self-bookable Drop-In slots provide an opportunity to meet with an Advisor to learn more about the support on offer within the University and in the wider community. Each session is approximately 10-15 minutes so is best used as a place to gather information, raise concerns about a friend, or take the first step to accessing support.
The Student Life Team are dedicated to supporting student wellbeing. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are based within all Halls of Residence, supporting all University of Southampton students.
