Mental Health and Wellbeing in MPLS

The Mental Health and Wellbeing of all of our staff and students remains a priority for MPLS. This page is designed to be your one-stop shop for all things mental health and wellbeing within the Division, including who to contact for support, useful resources, and how to get in touch with our dedicated Mental Health First Aiders. 

We are delighted to have a group of trained Mental Health First Aiders available to talk to anyone in the Division and signpost to resources. If you would like someone to listen and discuss an issue you are facing in a safe and confidential manner, you can find profiles and contact details through the link below. For immediate mental health first aid support, please contact mhfa@mpls.ox.ac.uk.
