Looking After Yourself Over the December Break

The university will be closed over the Christmas period, and we know this time can feel different for everyone. Some students look forward to a break, while others may feel lonely, stressed, or unsure about where to find support.

View our guide to help you stay safe, well, and connected while services are closed or running differently.

Inside, you’ll find useful tips, contact details, and ideas to help you take care of yourself , whether you're staying on campus, at home, or somewhere else.

You’re not alone. There is still help available, and small steps can make a big difference to your wellbeing.

Unsure of support?

ASK is the first point of call for any Wrexham University student support needs. If you have a question or aren’t quite sure which service you need then please complete this quick query form and we’ll be in touch.
